General Info
BlackBerry? support is provided by the Barry project, which includes plugins for opensync 0.22 and the upcoming 0.4x. The plugin sources are included in the Barry releases and maintained there by Chris Frey and Nicolas Vivien.
The BlackBerry? uses its own proprietary USB protocol, and therefore Barry support is limited to what can be reverse engineered.
Hardware Models
Most USB models are supported by Barry, although using international charsets may cause trouble on some newer devices that seem to behave differently at a low protocol level.
The BlackBerry? uses USB Vendor ID 0x0fca, with Product IDs including 0x0001, 0x0004, 0x0006, 0x8001, 0x8004, and 0x8007.
