My Z1 arrived almost a week ago, using it just for testing without SIM inserted for now because I simply
can't find a way to transfer my contacts to it.
Now using a BB Curve, with contacts spread over SIM, desktop and work e-mail profiles. It's chaos, I know
Blackberry Desktop Software lets me create a backup, but it's a BB file that can't be imported as far as I know.
Anyone Xperience with transferring contacts from BB to any of the latest Xperia models? Thanks!
Marc
EDIT
What I tried so far...
. BB Desktop software gets me nowwhere but making a bbb file, the actual backup, stops there
. Bluetooth only takes contacts from SIM, just isn't enough
. Sony software is a really great tool, but doesn't do the trick for BB when you have mixed accounts
. Downloaded paid version Amrak PhoneMiner Plus, this is a FANTASTIC tool, lets you import from almost anything and export to almost any format
. Exported the bbb backup file to numerous outputs (xls - xlsx - csv - vcf)
. Used the xlsx version to update and correct
Sony doesn't let you import xls, and since the vcf are all separate files (takes too long to correct) I really want to continue with the xls I have.
So I went to gmail with my account (that was empty) an it lets me import the csv that I made from the xls. Problem is that all fields all in the wrong
place. I guess it takes some excel knowledge to get further than this, so I 'll keep you posted when there is progress...
