I am not one to burst people's bubbles and their curiousity if it could be done, but what is the legality of pen-testing Blackberry and the cellular provider. IMHO, this would be a big LEGAL issue if let's say the pen-testing led to access to Cingular, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc. T-Mobile does not prefer such publicity as we have observed, and will go out of their way to reduce one's assets to not much more than .02..
