  Hi all

  My Blackberry 8120 comes by mail, now I'm at a point where I need to transfer all my contacts from my old cell (Motorola Razr) I had for 3 years.

  Note: I use the prepaid T-Mobile service.

  Thank you all, Lilbreez

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  A few things to discuss... so bear with me...

  (1) contrary to others how things, RIM does not provide desktop PIM. Others force you to use their PIM and only their PIM. RIM provides a driving software that works as a bridge between your PIM and the BB. See this compatible PIM KB:

  • KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager to synchronize

  (2) 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

  (3) 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.

  So your choice is, IMO, to continue to use a desktop PIM for your data (and you should, IMO)... then choose a compatible PIM (from above). Then download your data from your old device and the PIM Office. Next, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:

• BlackBerry Smartphones Can I edit my Contact list of my PC?

  When I connect my BB 9800 to my laptop I don't see the list of contacts on my BB using Windows Explorer.  I would like to be able to do this because my Contact list only contains phone numbers (a report of my previous cell phone) and I want to add email addresses.  I have a lot of entries to change and it would be difficult with the keys of BB.

  If I can't do it while only connected to my BB is there a way I can do a "Contact list" on my PC and then export it to my BB?  Thank you, Peter

  I have Xperia X 10 and I had taken backup Contacts and even recorded in a single VCF file for 500 contacts and I want all the contacts in my new blackberry, please help.

  VCF files can be imported into Outlook, where you can import or synchronize with BlackBerry using the BlackBerry Desktop Software.

  If you can export or convert these VCF files into a CSV file, you can import the CSV on your BlackBerry using the BlackBerry Desktop Software.

• BlackBerry smartphones my questions on the Storm 2 9520

  Hello everyone I do not have a Blackberry but I intend to update my phone soon and get a (I currently have a Nokia N95 8 GB). I looked through the list of Blackberry models, and the 9520 that I fell in love was the Storm 2 9520. I will probably get one, but I have several questions that I couldn't find clear answers on google. I'm picky about details on a phone, so I want to know everything before get you it. Here is the list of things that I had on my mind:

  -J' read that this phone records videos in 3gp format and not mp4. I'm a little worried about that, because I feel 3gp is less intense than mp4 by Windows (Win 7 user here). For example, 3gp, I filmed with an old phone years ago don't even open correctly in most players and no audio. So, is the format the phone records in playable correctly in Windows (Linux too)?

  -J' I always rename my pictures and my videos after taking. With the 9520, you can click a button or menu entry to rename an image / clip immediately after making it? Or they be saved with a name only automated, and you need to open your file browser and navigate to the file to be renamed?

  -A curiosity, I got on the touch screen if it is based only on the detection of heat or by pressing physics too. What I've seen, the heat detection is used when you lightly touch the screen and select the stuff / drag, while only pressing is used actually click. I'm curious because I could use my phone outside in the winter when I have leather gloves, and the screen can not detect my body energy then. Of course, it is difficult to use any phone with gloves, but I sometimes do to some extent

  -Use the charger micro-usb port, or another port? I know that some devices that use USB for charging and connection to the computer, which is a method that I prefer in general. No problem if it is not, just curious.

  -In the specs of the phone, it says maximum 8 GB micro-SD cards are supported. Someone can confirm that more cards are inconsistent and do not work (16 / 32 GB ones)?

  -J' read on a website that the only way to configure e-mail is to have a Blackberry Enterprise Server (do not exactly know what what). But you need to register with Blackberry using a classic IMAP / POP email account (like gmail or yahoo mail)? And besides, you need to register with any Blackberry service to use 3 G internet supplier or to use messenger (YIM MSN and AIM)? I'm guessing not, but always ask to be sure.

  -J' heard some phones have this limit / problem, so just to be safe: can put you MP3 transferred from your computer as ringtones? Or do you need to download them online from special services, as I heard some phones force you to?

  -J' read on several websites that there are complications with the installation of applications via the data cable. That's how I install most of my programs of others on phones. So if I have a jar or jad file on my desktop, is there no possible to install it via data cable unless I have an additional file with it? Same question for no java Blackberry applications.

  -All Web sites mention that the OS 5 web browser does not support flash on web pages (which I find quite sad). However, I can still play the files flash directly from my phone so I just open the swf file?

  -Can you play audio files in ogg / wav format? In addition, it can play video ogv, avi or mpeg?

  -Can I download themes for it that change the icons and colors of the menus? I guess the definition of custom screen (independent of the subject) shouldn't be a problem. Also, is there a free software that allows you to create your own themes and exporting it to the phone via data cable?

  -Are there also a front-facing camera for 3G video chat?

  -J' read on the differences between the 9520 and 9550 and that the 9550 has a frequency of additional network, sure it can work. Everyone says that you can not use a Blackberry in America if you buy it in Europe, in particular the 9520. Is this true? And the more vital than the 9520 9550 compatibility?

  -OS 6 will come to the 9520 too? Some sites say it won't, while than others whether in devices that it will support an update. Hope very much it will be

  -Finally, this could be a sensitive issue and I don't know how poorly seen on it is here. But it's easy to unlock / debrand the 9520? I would like to get the latest versions of firmware and do not have the limited phone.

  Someone mentioned the provider to branding is not done for commercial reasons, but in order to keep the compatible phone (and shouldn't even be illegal to debrand). So I think it should be ok.

  Yes, they are a lot of questions that may seem ridiculous. I got this phone for several years, so I want to know all about it. Thanks to all those who can help you meet them, and keep up the good work with phones

  3GP is the native video recording format. All you need is the codec on your PC to read. I downloaded a free transcoder and it not only transcode avi (and other formats) for me, but also to put the codec appropriate in what I can play natively without transcoding. QuickTime, I think a codec were also held. There are plenty of audio and the recorded video.

  Hmmm... haven't really tried to do... worst case, of course you can rename them later.

  In fact, storm BBs use two detection of heat as well as the physical press. It's called SurePress technology. Heat detection determines where on the screen you touch and then physical pressure activates the 'click' somehow. The entire screen is great physical button, whose activity is determined by your finger on the screen position when you press. As such, I doubt it'll work with gloves on at all. I know, on the ski slopes, I remove my glove to do something with my 9550.

  On the BB, a port for all functions. Micro USB for charging and attached USB data transfer. When connected to a PC with the drivers installed, the BB will be time load (from the USB port of the PC) as well as allow the transfer of data.

  Technically, the BB model is unrelated to the size of the SD card, it supports. It is rather a function of the OS level that the BB is running according to the instructions this KB:

  This issue is not that I consider as responsible. Everyone has their particular circumstances they need to meet. The features of the search machine and the frequency ranges of carriers that you want to run. Then choose the device that fits your specific needs.

  Without no doubt... but this isn't an authoritative answer. And you will not be able to receive replies by authorities here. Basically, upgraded the specs for OS 6.0 here:

  • http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/announcements/announcing-BlackBerry-device-software-6-0/TD-p/...

  With the series Storm conspicuous by their absence, I consider any current to be candidates for the OS6.0 storms. But it is indeed in my humble OPINION.

  But I'm not sure of your premises. You seem to be saying that you are locked in your level of update of carriers, as long as your BB is blocked. This is false. Unlocking is simply the function to allow your BB run on a network of different carriers... at the level of the BONE is irrelevant to that. You are free to use the carriers released OS for your specific model BB... There is just a tiny thing that you need to follow. But unlocking is not necessary to do so. There's nothing illegal or anything about unlocking. But it is useless unless and until you want to reverse your BB to another carrier.

• BlackBerry Smartphones quite confused newbie with (iMac) & Blackberry Curve 8530 ordered

  I thought I posted this before but can't ind station. Maybe I'm in the wrong bench?

  Need to synchronize information on BB Curve 8530 with my iMac, Mobile me up and use to sync iPod Touch - questions are:

  1 can I disable MM before you install Blackberry software for Mac (Snow Leopard)?  I need to be able to sync contacts/address book, iCal with the new phone and am afraid of conflicts so I don't "disable Mobile Me.

  2 have you also looked at Mark/Space software to sync Curve 8530 - it might be a better program to sync with iMac - someone uses this or do you use the Balckberry software?

  3. do I have on the right forum for these questions I changed my subscription and I am in the right but not sure, so pls be kind enough to redirect me...

  thx for your patience.

  Hello, petunia

  Before you install the BlackBerry Desktop Software I would recommend support to the top of your address book and iCal on your Mac. Do this please open your address book, and then select the file (in the top menu) > export > Address Book Archive, and then click Save and placed on the desktop. Let then open iCal and select file > export > iCal Archive and click Save to place them on the desktop as well.

  You are now ready to install the BlackBerry Desktop Manager on your Mac. You don't need to disable mobile me to do this. After installation, restart your Mac and open the app to BlackBerry Desktop manager (it will be located in your main applications on the Mac folder). Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your smart phone BlackBerry for Mac.

  After the device is recognized and connected, you will have to configure synchronization settings. To do it please click on the items you want to synchronize under information and then select two way to sync with the calendar to sync or Sync Contacts(In the middle of the page). Once this operation is complete, you can go ahead and click the sync button located on the top right to start the synchronization process. During synchronization it will alert you that it's your first synchronization and it is recommended to replace the data on the BlackBerry smartphone. Please select this option to overwrite the data so that all the information of iMac you will be synchronized on your BlackBerry Smartphone.

  Once it is complete, you can eject your BlackBerry Smartphone by pressing the key of eject located in the lower right of the program.

  Thank you and you defenatly in the right place!

• Why is incorrect dt when TDMS log file is exported to ASCII text?

  In short, we are 6 hours recordings 4096 samples per second on 6 channels. We use a different program to analyze the electrical data and so we export to Ascii text. However, when import us the dt that is listed in the file Ascii text file won't and if I would like to convert it to the samples per second, it would be more than 4098.2! As synchronize us this data to another system, it is imperative that we ensure that the sampling time are correct. Anyone know why we would get an incorrect dt indicated in the ascii file?

  If I go back to the Module acquire DAQmx in Signal Express that we used to get the data, I see that the rate shown is 4096.0

  Clampfit of Axon INstruments allows us to import the data of Signal acquired Express.

  Potentially, we're looking at a few days or weeks to convert data because of this gap if anyone can shed some light on the view I would be very grateful.

  Kind regards

  SMB

  Take a look at the following documents, I think the first thing to check is that your card can achieve this sampling rate. If it is possible, then we can look into if it is for a reason, adjusting, or if something in the conversion is making data appear different.

  What sample rate is my DAQ able to map: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4BBE1409700F6CE686256E9200652F6B

  How is the actual rate determined analysis: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5782F1B396474BAF86256A1D00572D6E?OpenDocument

  Have you already been successful in this conversion to ASCII before?
