I also doubt you'd raise as much as you might want to open-source it through Kickstarter -- but it's low-risk to try, since if your chosen threshold isn't reached no money changes hands. It'd only be a bruise to your project's cachet, and perhaps reveal your 'reserve price' for future negotiations.
Tools to migrate BB data to Android or iOS devices might be of interest in those app-markets. Even just something that migrates the data to some standard outside file-format might be of interest, or work as the 'first leg' of a transfer that requires a new app-store-bought-app to import to the new device. (Is there a 'blackberryimage' format?)
Could it be used to provide a 'cloud backup' of your BB, either over-the-air or over-a-cable?
