From BB to Incredible (Have issues, need help, advice)

Dinc 101

There are some pages on the forum about transitioning to the Android platform from a Blackberry environment. Do a search and you'll find them.. they're quite useful articles about email, contacts, etc. I just crossed over from a Storm (original recipe) and am glad that I did. It's NOT all sweetness and light, as the blackberry does email better than the Dinc I have... but the brilliance of the speak-to-text, the android market place tools, the web browsing experience completely blow away my old Storm.

"I am also migrating from a BB, and I really liked that you can set an alarm on the BB, turn off the phone, and it will wake up at alarm time. Is there an app that does that on the Incredible? "

I haven't seen one... I'm no expert, but I believe when the Storm or any other blackberry is off, it's really just asleep. Alarms can wake it up (in order to wake YOU up!)

The Android system, on the other hand, really appears to turn completely off and I know that alarms that are set to go off do not if the phone is turned off. I wish they would, as there is a slight battery drain when the phone is just asleep, but it's not a deal breaker.

How do I import contacts from a BB backup file to my Dinc ? My Storm is dead, TIA

Hello all! New here currently using a Storm 2 and painfully waiting till I get out of work to pick up my Incredible (delivered, waiting at my apartment).

Everyone,
Considering moving to incredible from a storm 1. Is there a reliable program to sync outlook (contacts, calendar, tasks, notes) to the phone? This was standard and free through the BB desktop. It looks like this might be possible with companionlink only. Has anyone used this? I see gsync, missing sync and android sync all have some of these capabilities but not all of them (tasks is usually left off). Thanks this is the only thing holding me back.

You may have already found it - HTC Sync will sync calendar and contacts from outlook - works pretty well and you can set it up to sync when you connect your phone.
