Linux users who also use a BlackBerry ™ now have an option for
managing their BlackBerry directly from Linux.
Barry is an Open Source application that will provide synchronization,
backup, restore and program management for BlackBerry ™ devices.
Barry is primarily developed on Linux, but is intended as a cross platform
library and application set, targeting Linux, BSD, 32/64bit, and big/little
endian systems.
The Barry project began in October 2005 and has steadily added features
and polish to Blackberry usage on Linux ever since. We were the first to
reverse engineer the battery charging handshake via USB.
Today, it is possible to:
- charge your Blackberry's battery from your USB port
- retrieve Address Book, Email, Calendar, Service Book, Memos,
Tasks, PIN Messages, Saved Email, and Folders - export Address Book contacts in text or LDAP LDIF format
- make full data backups and restores of your device using
a GUI - synchronize contacts and calendar items using the
OpenSync
framework - use the Blackberry as a modem
