Hi richman and welcome to Pocket PC Addict
I don't have any experience connecting a PPC to a blackberry device, but if the blackberry uses standard Bluetooth you should be able to go to bluetooth manager (Bottom right blue icon)from your today screen and "explore bluetooth services of another device"
I would start out by pairing the two devices. Then you'd have a more efficient route to figuring out all you can do with the two.

thanks for the reply. i've actually already did all that, and it basicly tells me there are no services to share. there has to be some way to use it as a modem.

Hello richman, welcome to the pocketpcaddict family I was in a similar situation recently as wel. I just got a blackberry 7250, which I assumed I would be able to pair with my ppc to get online virtually anywhere... but this is not the case.
The blackberry lacks the bluetooth service module/driver/thingy to enable this type of connection. it only supports handsfree profiles, thus, no bluetooth data connections.
I can get my two devices to technically see each other, the blackberry picks up the ppc name, and vice versa, but the ppc cannot find any usable services.
I've been hunting for a solution to this problem for a while now... if I come across anything, I'll post it here.
