Pairing a PS3 & a Blackberry

Transferring files between your Blackberry and your PS3 allows you to listen to music, watch videos and look at pictures from your phone on your television through your gaming system. To connect the two devices, you won't need any additional hardware or software than what you already have. However, you must do more than just connect the two devices with a wire. You need to change the settings in both devices so they each recognize the other and can share files.
