Search this. There's a thread over 10 pages long about general Bluetooth tether, there's also a 4-5 page thread on just Blackberry tethering.

I am trying Bluetooth tethering using PdaNet. It pairs up but the 3G still shows unlike when I'm using WiFi. I cant tell if its really tethered or not? Can the 3G be turned off independently of Bluetooth? Can't find a setting for that.
Trying not to burn up my horrendous Verizon data plan, would rather pair with my Droid X unlimited plan. Anyone else tried this?
You do realize that tethering uses your data right?

Yes I do, but I have the unlimited plan on the Droid X. Yes, I know it not trully 'unlimited' but they haven't messed with me yet and I tether my laptop all the time when on the road.

See this post which explains how to native tether via bluetooth: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968801
I have tested this using my DroidX and it works great!
*Note: you do NOT need a special app to tether the Xoom to DroidX, you can do it all natively by pairing the devices then using the Tether profile that is on the Xoom, you don't need Wireless Tether or any other app to do it

Does anybody know how to tether the original motorola droid with the motorola xoom? Wifi tethering with barnacle or wireless tether does not work. I also tried the bluetooth option with no luck. Can anyone help?

been several threads on this. The original droid makes an Ad-Hoc wireless network for wifi tether, which the Xoom can't recognize. You're gonna have to do Bluetooth. Read the guides.

Hi Guys,
Little bleak that the eee pad doesn't have cellular access. I was wondering if it is possible to tether a blackberry 9700 to the transformer?
Then at least I can use google maps?
Thanks
Found your answer
Answer found here
lol, great answer there. I am actually not familiar with bluetooth tethering, but I do know that the next Blackberry OS update (6.1) will feature wifi hotspots. If you are running OS6 then the update will allow you to connect to the blackberry hotspot from your transformer and viola, problem solved. Not sure when OS6.1 is coming out though it should be in the next few months. If I get a transformer then I would be looking to tether my Torch to the tablet too.
I don't think the answer is as simple as searching google bud. Blackberry has some inherit problems connecting via bluetooth to android.
I'm one of those who is still struggling to connect my T-Former with my Blackberry 8520. I've visited the Blackberry support sites, done the google, still don't have a good clue. And yes, I've looked for how to enable DUN support on my blackberry.
Any ideas ?
Cheers,

Hey Josephd, did you happen to try that? Did it work? I'm still looking for a solution for my 9800, also.

Tether to or from your HTC Thunderbolt? What have you read about it?
Also are you stock or rooted on both devices
Im rooted on the thunderbolt, but not on the xoom. I know i have to do bluetooth tethering, but i dont know how to do that on my xoom or my laptop. I would like to be able to use both at the same time.

ok no problem but why didn't you just google this info... Not trying to be a hard ass but just so you know these forums are helpful but people like to see a little effort made to at least help themselves...
Now with that said what rom are you using on your Thunderbolt since my boy has one and BAMF I believe comes with android tether on it.. If not a quick google search for wifi tether - comes up with this
Now you download and install that to your phone and turn it on and it will act as a hotspot which you then connect your Xoom too.
Now second choice - a quick google search of tablet tethering brought up PDAnet - which is on the market and tells you how to set it up. Now there is a twist with them since bluetooth tethering is tricky and you have to restart your device to get it working after initially connecting and disconnecting.
Ok third choice for you laptop - Download PDAnet from there website for laptops and then download PDANet from Android Market, its different than PDANet Tablet
Hope that all helps and like I said for future reference probably any question you have has been asked already... hit up google first for your answer before posting in here... No disrespect just trying to help
Edit: That version of Wifi tether also uses Bluetooth tethering... but you must turn on bluetooth tether first prior to pairing devices...
i did google it

ok well I hope my answers help you... I have an Evo so its basically the same phone... I have laid out the steps for you too try... Wifi tethering is quite easy... If I may ask I know sometimes you search the wrong thing and its frustrating but what did you enter to find out how to tether you phone to your Xoom...
http://tinyurl.com/3br93db - check out the link and the very first result
Good luck
My laptop will connect to the phone, but the wifi xoom wont find it. Something to do with the xoom wont reconize an ad hoc network? But the link you posted for the android tethering worked. Thanks

Tethering to the Xoom on an ad-hoc requires you to root and then replace some system files on the Xoom.
I have never had a problem connecting to my Thunderbolt (CM7, stock kernel) with my Xoom over WiFi, rooted or when it was stock. If you have CM7 just turn on tethering in the CM settings menu and you're good to go, if not, then this info is probably useless.
Hi everyone,
I'm about to purchase Nexus 7 in a couple of days but I need to confirm if my phone can tether with google tablet.
The phone I'm going to be using is a blackberry device and I was able to tether it with RIM's playbook before. Here is the link to the product page: http://ca.blackberry.com/smartphones/blackberry-bold-9790.html
I never tried to tether blackberry to ipad before.... I don't even know if other devices accommodate blackberry for tethering.
Can somebody please confirm if this is possible with Nexus and my blackberry? Is it going to be easy connectivity or do I need to root and stuff...??? I really need an answer as bestbuy folks in my area weren't very knowledgeable about this.
Thank you in advance for your help.
This isn't a confirmation, since I don't have a Blackberry, but it might still be helpful -- I believe the answer will be "Yes, but you have to download and install PDAnet Tablet on the tablet and use it to connect." It is free, and not the same as the PDAnet for tethering.
The Bold 9790 supports bluetooth DUN, and PDAnet Tablet listed Blackberry as an option when I used it to connect to my Android phone.

If you're talking about blackberry bridge forget about it... if your BlackBerry device supports BlackBerry 7 you can turn on the hotspot feature and then tether via wifi assuming your data plan supports the feature.

For some reason whenever I use the built in wifi tethering my laptop always just shows a limited connection. I can never get it to work. I don't get any other error messages. A friend of mine on the same plan is able to use it so I'm just wondering if anyone else is having problems and if there is maybe something I'm not doing. both my friend and I do not have the tethering add on, but he is able to use it. thank you everyone in advance.
I don't do anything BUT tether with my $30 plan. I have a JVC head unit in my car that integrates so well with my iPhone 4, I never turn off tethering at all. My Nexus lives to serve my iPhone 4...lol
Never had an issue. Have you updated your wireless card drivers on your laptop?
Try your laptop with your friends phone.

I just tried mine to see what happened...It worked when connecting to my nexus 7 but not with my PC...so maybe it is a PC issue and not something with the phone or network.
Download a user agent switcher for your browser (Firefox or chrome) and then switch it to android and it should work
