Contacts-Switching from Storm to Droid

[Traprock]

Is ther a way to import my BB Storm's contact list to a droid? I have a ton of work contacts I don't want to retype

Is your storm still active? If so, you can use google sync on the storm with your gmail address and it will be automatically pulled in when you sign in on your droid. If the storm isn't active, you can use desktop manager to export your contacts as a .csv file and import them by logging into gmail on your computer.

I installed google sync on my Storm right before I bought my Droid and that worked wonders.

Any VZW store will do it for you as well.

Some might try to charge you, but just say "nah" and they'll just do it for free

Most authorized retailers will probably have a cellebrite machine to do the transferring if your local corporate store doesn't also.

I did the same thing with my curve. Synced it, activated the Droid, signed into Google, and all my contacts were there. Worked like a charm.

3rd part VZW stores will try to charge you $20, but a corporate VZW store should do it free.

I switched from the Storm to the Droid because the prong on my charger had gone bad. I was fearful I would lose all of my contacts, and the VZ rep tried made an effort to swap it but the prong was toast. I set up the droid and was shocked to see I hadn't lost one contact. Everything was there.
I had forgotten about it, but I had Google Synch on my phone. I had recently updated it too. So I really lucked out. I love Google.

They no longer use cellebrites in stores. It was too time consuming. For the reps

Agreed... Gsync or export to csv then import to Google account is the way to go.

Try lookout. I use it on my Droid and I think they have an app for crackberry. Just google mylookout and you should find it online. Good luck.
