I agree - you won't get this to work. But do you know why?
When a carrier establishes a BlackBerry service they set up dedicated links (leased line) to RIM's Canadian data centre.
When you trurn your BlackBerry device on, it has a BlackBerry APN (service) enabled, which gives the device a private IP address in a range owned by the carrier (i.e 10.x.x.x or similar). The carrier's network provides a private connection to the RIM relay system, so no amount of port unblocking will help because your carrier doesn't have a connection to RIM, so your device will never send/receive BlackBerry data...
I hope this helps.
