It was really easy on Windows 7, and I'm assuming Vista. You don't need any software installed beyond the bluetooth stack. I know for a fact the HP BT stack works, I've heared other vendors may be asshats and disable it.

1. Enable BT on the laptop and the phone.
2. Click Setup Bluetooth under Manage Connections. Select listen.
3. Open the Devices and Printers applet on the Windows Control Panel.
4. Click Add a Device.
5. Wait for Windows to find the device. It'll give you a code to enter into the device.
6. Blackberry should have a prompt for the code at this point, enter it.
7. Select Yes when the Blackberry asks if you want to trust the device.
8. Open the Network & Sharing Center in the Windows Control Panel.
9. Click Setup a Connection or Network.
10. Click Setup a dial-up connection. It may ask what modem, select Bluetooth.
11. Enter *99# for the phone number for T-Mo, AT&T is probably something else.
12. The username and password for T-Mobile is your 10 digit cell number and the password for your online account management.
13. Click next, it may have an error so click setup anyway.
14. Open Network& sharing again. Click Adapter settings, you should see your connection there. Right click it and select properties.
15. Select the Networking tab, then TCP/IP v4 properties. Click the advanced button then uncheck Use IP header compression. Click ok twice.
16. Click the General tab, click Configure. Uncheck everything. Click ok twice to return to the list of connections on your machine.
17. Double click the connection. Enter your username and password then click connect. It should dial out and connect if you have service.
