BlackBerry SMS Messages Record Format

This information is result of over 9000 btool -d Tasks dumps from a *single* BB 8800.

RIM 8800 Series Colour GPRS Handheld
App Version v4.5.0.81(108), platform 2.7.0.78

There are several cases not tested yet, which are hard to catch, i.e. `Pending', etc.
information on these incidents is welcomed. Incidentally, some listings here may be inaccurate.

==Header==
Length = const 0x0f bytes

00000000: 04 00 x0 x1 40 ?? 44 05 01 00 x2 x3 x4 x5 00  ....@.D........
          _____ _____ ___________ _____ ___________ __
          type  len   var0        index uniqueID

type        - always 04 00, perhaps SMS uses this but others also do
len         - length of this record in bytes, including header.
var0        - 40 02 44 05/40 01 44 05(according to my 9000+ messages), change but all records keep the same.
index       - the record number within the data base.
              determines posting order in the device (That is, if you
              change sort order, the indices of tasks will be modified.
              Similarly, if you change the priority or due date of a task
              the ordinal might change as well.
uniqueID    - 32byte Integer, unique for each task,
              generated by time.

==Content Fields==

The content is divided into 7+ parts, each with a 3byte header:
id# format meaning
--- ------ -------
00  2byte  size(excluding this header)
01  1byte  field type

The field type has 7 possible values, ordered as their appearances:
