How to install a .jar/.jad on a V3

Hello,
I have a Motorola V3, (the old one, not v3i or v3x) and I've been trying to install a java application on it. Since the phone has Java, I figured it should be perfectly capable of running this app: http://www.languagebug.com/kanji_q/index.htm
(it's a tool for learning japanese characters, nevermind that) The problem is, how to get it there? I don't want to use wap, cause it's expensive. So I've downloaded the files to my pc, connected the phone via usb, and this is where the problems begin. The only things the desperately BFU-oriented Mobile Tools allows me to transfer is media - pictures, sounds, video. No trace of 'install application' functionality, heck it won't even let me copy the files. I can get around this by changing the files' extensions (to say .jpg) but for what good? The phone will simply deem the files corrupted pictures.
How can I do this? Is there any utility, official or unofficial?
I haven't updated my phone's software since I bought it. Should I update it? Do I need to update my phone's java in order to run this thing?
And just out of curiosity: is there any new/better OS for my phone which could replace the dreadful default one?

Go to the V3 forum... V3i has a different/easier method.

I'm actually kinda curious. How do you do it on the V3i? I'd like to be able to get games on an unlocked phone.
