We have been developing a Blackberry tool that runs in Linux. We have a 
developer devoting two days a week to the project and we are getting quite
a few web sites hits on it.

Check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/barry/ and 
http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry/index.php

Currently it is a library and command line tool that is successfully backing
up and restoring several of the blackberry databases. It works on three of the
recent blackberry models that we have and we expect that it would work on
all of the current models.
