transferring contacts

**pappy53** · 07-31-2011, 01:22 PM

I am getting my daughter a Droid Pro with Verizon. She now has a Bold 9650 with Sprint. My question is how do I transfer all the contacts? I would like to end up with all the contacts on Google. TIA!

Have you tried using the export function?

Blackberry makes a desktop client that allows you to sync or backup to the desktop. I would try that and pull the contacts as a csv file to then upload to Google. One uploaded, she can then sync the new phone with Google to have all her contacts.

There may also be blackberry apps to backup the contacts as csv files if the above doesn't work.

I went to the desktop manager backup file that was created, and it wouldn't let me open it because it was an .ipd file.

Use the Google Sync app. Made by google for blackberries. It converts all your contacts to your gmail account, so as soon as you log in on your new phone they will all be there.

I was going to suggest going to on the PC and it will tell you if you're Blackberry is compatible with Google Sync. There should be information to sync the contacts as just mentioned above.

The selection of a phone really depends on what the user expects and if the phone will do it. Each offer apps but one may have some that are better suited to the users lifestyle. In reality only you can decide. Any opinions offered on each would be reflective of that users own needs. Moved to more appropriate section.
