Instructions for paring BlackBerry device as a keyboard/mouse with PS3:
1) BB: Turn your bluetooth on,. Make sure it is not connected to any other device, and set your connection options as “Discoverable – Yes”
2) PS3: Turn on your Playstation and goto Accessory Settings -> Manage BlueTooth Devices
