What happens when you try? How is it failing?

I found this page explaining how to hook it up:

TomTom GO Manual

That page wants you to set your Bluetooth to discoverable on the Blackberry. Go to OPTIONS, then Bluetooth, click the wheel, and choose Options again. Make sure "Discoverable" is yes. The two should find each other, and the Blackberry will ask for the PIN code. According to the page above, that should be 0000, all zeros.

Hi
when you pair the Blackberry up it ackowledges the Tomtom on the screen it then asks for you to key in the code. I know it is four zeros (0000) but it then states that it is unable to pair the Tomtom.
I hope this makes sense.

It's entirely possible that the Blackberry doesn't have the correct Bluetooth profile enabled/installed to pair up. I don't know about that.

You might try contacting TomTom to see if they have any ideas.

I don't use Tom Tom but I'm sure I've seen a couple of threads about this recently (do a search). Are you trying to use your Tom Tom as a Bluetooth speaker phone for the BlackBerry, as this maybe down to your Bluetooth version.
