I had a go at browsing the filesystem on my Blackberry.  It won't work.

obexftp fails in each case to list the contents on the BB internal flash.  When 
looking under Known Devices on the Bluedevil applet on the desktop, it says:

"No supported services found"

which make me think that the way this BB is set up, it won't share its fs with 
a PC.

if your run:

# sdptool browse <your_device_MAC_address>

it will list a number of services that the device supports after you connect 
it to your PC.

Although I could not browse any files using Dophin or obexftp, I was able to 
send and receive files using obex push.

HTH.
