I backed up my blackberry tour onto my mac, then my blackberry got stolen. How do I access the file now so that I can transfer the info to my new Palm Pre Plus?

It's saved as a .bbb file, and my mac doesn't have an application that will open it.

How do I access the file? Or how can I convert it into a .csv file?

Any info helps.

Thanks

I don't think Blackberries have a "backup in case the phone and gets stolen and then the owner wants a different brand of phone" setting.

Google might have a way to convert it but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Thanks.

I think I'll have to borrow another blackberry to transfer the .bbb file to that, then bring that and my new phone into a store to have them transfer.

The new version BB Desktop manager 5.0 says it will transfer your stuff from a BB to a Palm or windows device.
It's the device switch wizard.
Borrow a deactivated phone, restore your stuff to it, and then transfer the stuff.

If any of you may still think or read this topic, I want to share with you that BlackBerry Backup Extractor works like a charm when recovering data from a .bbb backup. Good luck!
