Amazon.com: Momo (Puffin Books): Books: Michael Ende ... it's a book for everybody who has to do with time, which, in a 4-dimensional space-time, is pretty much really everybody. Actually it has been written for children, but IMHO it's even more interesting to adults.

Got it! That wasn't it, but it pointed me in the right direction. First I downloaded me a copy of some live CD (Slax seemed nice) and verified the Blackberry would work there. Then I tried in Ubuntu's rescue mode - no luck. What I did notice though, while in rescue mode was this: berry_charge would be in the lsmod list whenever the BB was plugged in, no matter if I had removed it. That only stopped after killing udevd. When berry_charge was unloaded for good, the BB appeared in lsusb as well. Quickfix: mv berry_charge.ko BUGGERMENOLONGER-berry_charge.ko. Now it works like a charm and I could almost bang my head against a wall for hand-copying 252 contacts, 2 years worth of calendar entries and about 50 A4-pages of notes.

Thanks a lot rivviepop!

Only one question remains... is there a way to keep my new BB synchronized with Evolution and/or GoogleMail now?

(Oh, and I'll file a Ubuntu bug ASAP)
