 At this stage, you can test the MIDlet on your development workstation using the phone [[emulator]], and then most probably make changes, then recompile and repackage it.  When you are satisfied with the result, you can transfer the generated JAR and JAD files to a real phone, install the app, and test it.   (You should always test a MIDlet on a real device before distributing it.)
