The creator of the free GPSLogger application, Matthias, has created another free application for BlackBerrys called BBFileScout.

From the description:

[successfully tested with 8310, 8330, 8800, 8820, 9000 & 9500].

BBFileScout allows you to browse the file system of your BB (including hidden files) – create directories, copy, move, rename or delete files. You can open all (by your Blackberry supported) media files. Furthermore BBFileScout allows you to open files (like ini, xml, etc.) as plain text, so you are able to mark, copy & paste text fragments of these files that normally can’t be opened with your Blackberry. This can become very valuable when you receive eMail attachments that are not native supported by your Blackberry. More functionality (like copy & move of directories) is coming soon. With BBFileScout you can delete pre installed wallpapers, videos and ringtones in order to free memory on your device*** – but please note, that once they are deleted the only way to get them back is to hard reset your device!

• Please Note: Some files on a BB devices have some sort of DRM (DigitalRightsManagement). Cause of this it could be, that the files can not be copied, moved. BBFileScout will give you a warning information once you try to copy a file that have ‘encrypted content’ – BBFileScout will mark these files with a “lock” symbol. Additionally it could be the case, that even deleting of this content is not possible.

Features:

• Browse over the file system of your BlackBerry device
• Show hidden files and directories (indicated by grey name)
