It can be either easy or not easy. The easy way is to add a gmail account to your blackberry email and then sync your contacts on the blackberry to that gmail. Then go to the android and add THAT SAME gmail account and sync your contacts on the android. It will automatically populate your contacts app with your contacts on the blackberry as long as you have internet access on the android. The not so easy way is to use a pc and blackberry destop manager and sync your contacts on the blackberry with either outlook or windows contacts then plug your android and use it's own desktop manager to sync with outlook and windows contacts. If your android doesn't have a desktop manager, then search for other 3rd party desktop managers for android phones. There are a lot of good ones online, can't remember their names right now. Another alternative is after syncing your blackberry with either outlook or windows contacts, export your contacts from either of those two to a csv or vcf file (I recommend you go with vcf) and then transfer the file (its usually tiny like 500kb tops) to your android phone and use your contacts app to import it. When you have finally gotten your contacts on the android using whichever of the methods that suits you, remember to always sync your contacts with your google account so that if you want to move to a new smartphone (android or blackberry) all you need do is to add the google account on the new device and they will be automatically synced. 3 Likes |

Desktop? Don't even go there. I'm not that computer savvy. |

LORDEST: ##Team shit!! why going through all this stree wn ukan easily transfa via bluetooth !!! That's a waste of time and energy cos you have to open each contact one by one after you receive them then save it. Now imagine doing that for my 1200+ contacts. |

henryskywalker2003: You must be using an old os!!! Udpdate to os 7.1 |
Re: Transfering Contacts From Blackberry To Android. by henryskywalker2003(m): 9:50pm On Oct 03, 2013 |
LORDEST: Lol. True am actually using os6 but the problem is not on the blackberry end, but rather on the android end or any other phone you send the contacts to thru bluetooth. The way bluetooth transfer files forces it to be saved at a temporary place until the user moves it or accesses those files for the 1st time. Hence, when you transfer contacts thru bluetooth, it goes to the download folder (android) or message folder (symbian) and will remain their until you access the contact file. Only then will you be prompted to save it. So, imagine going thru that for a lot of contacts. This applies to even os 10. |

switch on bluetooth on both devices. make sure they are both visible. pair them. on blackberry in the bluetooth settings page scroll to the paired android phone press BlackBerry menu button and select "Transfer contacts Authorize the Bluetooth access on the Android device and wait for the transfer to be completed. it will transfer a single .csv file containing all your contacts to the android bluetooth folder. import it via the settings menu of the android contacts app. 3 Likes 1 Share |
