Yes, that would be nice. :-) But it's not currently possible with the current version of Barry. It is possible to view the existing SMS messages, but to send them, I think you'd need an app on the Blackberry side, and talk to it in some manner. I believe the database functionality on the BlackBerry side is done programmatically. So if you wrote an SMS app that recorded and also read its own database, then you could write a record parser/builder in Barry to do the communication. The hard part would be writing the SMS side on the BlackBerry, and trying to tie into the BlackBerry Messenger service. I'm not sure that is possible, but I'm not a BlackBerry app expert. The SMS is probably possible, but I don't know how closely guarded the BlackBerry Messenger api is.
