Importing contacts from a Blackberry

[David-]

I recently made the switch from a Blackberry Curve 8330 to the Motorola Droid. The people at the Verizon store "imported" my contacts to the droid from the blackberry, but unfortunately, it only did this for about half of my contacts. How do I import all to the droid?

I just did this because I am anal about my business phone and prefer not to give any information on it to the VZW employees (like my gmail account and password that they are asking me openly the store). You need to install the Blackberry Desktop Manager, import the contacts into Outlook, export the contacts into a windows CSV file, and then go to your gmail account, import, and import the CSV file. Worked like a charm for me.

well, i have bb desktop manager, did the whole synch thing, and the only thing it pulled to my outlook was contacts' email stuff.

I cant see how to bring my blackberry contact list over to my laptop or to the droid. I have over 350 contacts, and typing all that stuff manually would take me forEVER! LOL.

Is there an EASY way to do this? Bear with me as i just got the Droid about an hour ago, and still trying to figure all this stuff out.

i synced my tour with gmail contacts and then synced my contacts to my droid.

Grab google sync on your BB and sync it to gmail. Quick and painless

Google Sync for your phone

If you take it into the store, they have a machine that will do it automaticly. Actually right in front of you so you know the phone doesn't leave your sight. I transfered all my contacts from my BB to the Droid with no problems when I got my phone at BBY.

Strange... I've never run into that with Desktop Manager. You might want to give Google Sync a shot.

How many address books are on your BB? The default one may only have email addresses if there are more than one.

Me too and I didn't even realize it.

I had backed my Storm's contacts up to my Gmail account and forgot about it. My Verizon store was going to charge me $10 to transfer them (screw that, I've got time, I'll do it myself). I went to get home and saw that the phone had already downloaded them



Saved me $10 and some time.
