You can host your compiled and Signed app on your website for end-users to download to their phones without uploading to the BlackBerry app store.

• After you compile and sign your app, copy all the output files to a directory on your webserver
• Create an html page that points to the .jad file
  Example: <a href=myapp.jad>Download BlackBerry app</a>
• Modify the Mime-Types on that directory to allow downloading .jad and .cod files
• In IIS select your website, click on Mime Types
• Add a new type,
  use .jad for File name extension
  and text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor  for Mime type
• Add (or edit existing) .cod type
  use: .cod for File name extension
  type: application/vnd.rim.cod for Mime type
