    I don't have my bb yet but was scanning some of the free themes. When it says OTA, does that mean I have to do this with my bb

    So I have to be on my bb's browser right? OR, could I have sent to my desktop (jad) and load it that way?
    No. You have to go to the site from your blackberry browser. OTA means over the air. You can sometimes download the .jad file to your desktop, but that's kinda useless.

    Open browser > go to site where the themes are (in my case) > click ota > then its sent directly to my phone? Where would that new theme show up and how do I load it?

    For a theme, after down loading, go to Options > Theme. The them will be listed (scroll if you need to). Click on the theme to change to that theme.

    For OTA apps, they are installed automatically and will (generally) show up on your home screen. There are some apps such as AutoStandby that do not have icons. Everything is done through Options.

    OTA means it will download it directly to your device then you allow it to install directly. Themes will show up in options/themes.
