Have BlackBerry want to switch to iPhone


So you have a SlaveBerry, I mean Blackberry and you want to switch to a superior phone. Ok that's an easy decision. But what about that little problme of all your precious contacts stuck in your Blackberry! Do you have to manually re-type all of your contacts? Hell no, that's why you read my blog because you'll learn how to automate this process. I know that if you're a BB user you probably have Windows. So I'm gonna tell you how to export your Blackberry contacts to outlook and then sync that to iTunes and your iPhone.



  1. Download and install the latest Blackberry desktop software as of the posting of this blog it should be ver 4.6. Get it here: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22

  2. Once you've installed the BB desktop software run the app and plug in your BB

  3. It will ask for your password, NOTE: be sure that you spell your password and not the numbers. So if you have a curve and your password is 4545 your password is sdsd.

  4. The BB desktop software will have to connect to the Internet to check some settings and then let it do it's song and dance

  5. Once it's finished click the "Menu" button and sync your BB contacts from your phone to the BB desktop software by selecting the sync option

  6. Once it's done syncing in the left hand pane you'll see the sync button click that again and it'll take you to another screen asking you how you want to export your BB contacts, select Outlook and do a two way sync or one way sync and finish the prompts

  7. Go back to the main menu and select synchronize and then press the sync button again in the middle of the screen, this will snyc your contacts from the BB desktop manager to Outlook

  8. Load up Outlook and click on contacts and you'll see all of your BB contacts in your Outlook contacts.

There you go I've actually done for someone this so I know it works.
