The problem Giulio is that when you first plug a Blackberry Pearl into
a linux machinethe device identfies it's self as usb id 0x0006 which
means the device is in 'mass storage device only' mode and doesn't
have all the features needed to use the btool functionality. bcharge
on the other hand will work with either.

The solution it seems is to get btool while probing to look for a
blackberry pearl in MSD mode and switch it to full mode without going
to the trouble of having to run bcharge; in fact I would go so far as
to suggest creating a seperate application for doing this action and
putting a modification in the hal so when ever a pearl is plugged in
it's moved to the duel mode every time, this I think we should do
outside of the barry distribution (it's more of a hal/udev/kernel
thing anyway)  since we don't want to _require_ people to install
barry to get their pearl to do sane things with the usb stack. (I'd
also suggest putting bcharge in hal too, but that's a personal
request)

I think it would be important to support the hardware and detection
side of barry in conjunction with hardware layers so we can
concentrate on getting the syncing and other services support working
as it's own thing which simply depends on the system sorting out the
RIM mess for us.
