Is this possible and if so how?

Can I add another question: why?

The answer I yes you can. There are many posts about this. Here is a link to a guide I used. There is one on this site somewhere.

To be precise this is not really using the Blackberry as a modem. You will not, for example, be able to connect to another modem. You will be able to connect to the Internet (which seems the predominant for modems these days. A better term for this is Tethering. It also may have a very lucrative meaning to your wireless provider so check first rather than paying later.

You can use this, if you mean, connecting a device (a.e laptop) over bluetooth, and then you can surf on the net over your BB's 3G network ;)

Ummmmm so you can get internet access on the go from your netbook or notebook using your BlackBerry without having to pay for a separate mobile broadband account and/or carry a separate dongle when you will have your phone anyway???!?! And if your next question is why would you want Internet on the go .... then I will question why you even have a smartphone to begin with
