BlackBerry Smartphones copy contacts from Nokia 6500 to bb 8220 pearl flip

I need to move/copy contacts from my Nokia 6500 to bb 8220 pearl, I already downloaded the bb desktop software... ideas pls?

Hi and welcome to the Forums!

RIM provides a device switch Wizard to migrate from another SmartPhone to a BB... but only for compatible devices. See this KB:

  • KB05459 How to use the switch device Wizard to switch to another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone

If your old phone is not compatible with the wizard, then RIM more offers the possibility to import ASCII and CSV files. See this KB:

  • KB04312 Create and synchronize with an ASCII export file
    KB11194 How to import contacts from a CSV file to the BlackBerry
  • Sorry, but RIM does no research on how to get your data from your old device and in ASCII format or CSV... it is a function of your old device.

In addition, you could (I think should) use a desktop PIM for your data (and you should, IMO). You must choose a compatible PIM of this KB. Then download your data from your old device and the PIM Office. Next, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:

Good luck and let us know!

  • BlackBerry smartphones move contacts from a nokia, the BOLD 9700 phone

    Dear Sir.

    How can I move the contacts of your Nokia for the Bold9700

    Best regards

    Thanks in advance.

    It all depends on WHERE the nokia phone contacts are located in the phone's memory?

    So, if Nokia phone has a micro usb port (does?) use Desktop Manager > switch device Wizard.

    If this isn't the case, then you might need to find the forum a users Nokia to determine how you can export contacts from nokia on your computer in the form of an ASCII text file so that you can import this file into Outlook via BlackBerry Desktop Manager.

    Still another way would be to use miQLive.com > download your contacts from phone nokia on this site, and then install miQlive on your BlackBerry and restore this site to your BlackBerry contacts.

    Good luck.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Indeed, these IPD files are backups of your BB and are available as a source of food (they are a proprietary format and cannot be used for any other purpose, except by a few 3rd party applications that have been written to analyse). Choose the most recent one (the one with the most recent date and time, as displayed in the File Manager Windows) using this procedure:

  • Transfer of blackBerry Smartphones to contacts from 8300 to 9900 using BB desktop

    I can't connect my 8300 bb because the port of load connector desktop / on the phone has developed a fault, so he can't save up to transfer data to my new 9900. I have a back up of June as a IPD file. If I connect the 9900 can I access this IPD using bb desktop and how?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Yes, your office software should be able to use this IPD file as the source for a restoration. See the procedure here:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones copy PDF from computer to phone

    I have some pdf documents on my computer that I would like to copy on my phone.  I can see how to copy media files, but that's all. Help?

    No worries.

    Yes, I'm talking about the memory card.

    Normally, when you connect your device to the computer, you will have a few options on your device.  If you select USB drive and Autoplay folder will come up allowing your device as a mass storage device.  Select 'records open to view files. "  It will appear on your computer as one or two new hard drives.  In the BlackBerry folder, you will see several folders, perhaps even documents called.   If you open Windows Explorer in another window, you can then drag your documents from the PC on in documents on the device.

    I hope it makes more sense!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones transfer Contacts from old Q10

    Please help, I have nearly 1000 contacts in my Q10, but only a fraction have been downloaded on my new private via Content Transfer. These are apparently "local Contacts". How can I get all the contacts transfer or uploaded to Google Drive?

    You use this account gmail on PRIV? If so, check if the contacts are synchronized:

    Go to settings

    Scroll accounts

    Tap on Google

    Tap on the gmail account that has your contacts

    Now check if the switch to IT.

    If you have not added gmail account that has your contacts, then proceed as follows:

    Go to settings

    Scroll accounts

    Tap Add an account

    Select google

    Follow the instructions... and your contacts will automatically be there.

    Hello

    You will probably have to get a PAID 3rd party player. Backup files (*.) IPD) are designed only to backup/restore of a BB... not for the transfer of the data anywhere else. But some 3rd party applications have broken through them and figured out how to extract the data. I suggest that you search (your favorite search engine) readers of IPD file and then select one to do what you want. But... I also suggest that you protect that IPD file... you never know what might happen to her with some 3rd party app.

    Good luck!
