Blackberry Question

thefunkyfresh by thefunkyfreshFounder · Feb 17, 2006 · 122 views

I have a Blackberry and I want to back up all of my text messages. I backed them up to my computer HD and it saves it as a .ipd file. Is there any way of converting that file to another format? I'd like to be able to just open the file and browse through my old text messages.

ok, i talked to blackberry - you can only backup/restore - the .ipd file cannot be viewed. there may be a 3rd party program to let you do it, but BB didn't know of any.

well, thanks for the effort man. The blackberry is in Java, so maybe there's some covert Java app that can do it.
