I'm using Blu4ever (on a jailbroken ipad) to use my blackberry as a tethered data provider over bluetooth; for those of you who bought the cheaper (and slightly lighter) Wifi-only model this is the way to have always-connected access. I have a Rogers 5 GB data plan, which like all their plans over 1 GB includes tethering, so I don't need to pay any additional data fees.

The speed is NOT as fast as 3g (since the bluetooth connectivity adds overhead) but is still pretty decent for everything I've used it for so far, which is mostly surfing, email, and logging into remote desktops.
