Bluetooth Blackberry tethering is indeed possible already using just the
kernel, and has been possible for a while. I don't know how the speeds
compare with USB, but that probably isn't that much of a concern when
tethering is all you've got. :-)
Michael Brown recently sent me a quick howto via email, which I haven't
incorporated into the Barry docs yet. It's pasted below.
