Since wifi isn't as reliable and pervasive as GSM (and I read that
BlackBerry don't allow VoIP clients anyway, so as to force users to
make calls through their cellphone provider), I assume you don't want
to connect the Blackberry to Asterisk through either through
USB/Ethernet or wifi, but rather through GSM. 

The only solution I know is to buy a GSM gateway that will be
connected by wire to your Asterisk server at home, and you'll need to
get a second GSM subscription so that the GSM gateway has a SIM and
let you connect your GSM phone to your Asterisk server.

If someone knows of a cheaper way to connect a GSM phone to an
Asterisk server, I'm also interested.
