The BlackBerry API is surprisingly open when it comes to messaging. Although I haven't made anything that sends an SMS message (I've made things that listen to SMS, and also send email), it wouldn't surprise me if it's possible. This link suggests it should be possible:
http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/30946/Messaging_category_1716085_11.jsp Barry today has the brawchannel utility. With this you could create your own custom protocol for sending SMS messages through your app on the BB. Here is an example of writing from a BB app to brawchannel running on the desktop: http://git.slashdev.ca/log4bb/tree/src/com/jiggak/log/adapter/UsbAdapter.java ... the reverse, listing in the app for input from brawchannel should be pretty straight forward.
