If this Blackberry is supporting SIM cards and it's a device with a SIM slot you can get it unlocked and use it with GSM carriers by inserting a SIM card into it.

Blackberry cell phones that supports GSM use can be unlocked and used over any GSM carrier by simply inserting a sim card into it.

It's useless other than parts.
