Copy Blackberry contacts

Want to copy /transfer Blackberry contacts, notes, calendar, tasks ... etc from one Blackberry phone to another?
Most people will answer below :

  1. for contacts, copy from Blackberry address book to the SIM card, then put the SIM card into the new phone and start import from the SIM
  2. for contacts, notes, calendar, tasks ... etc, you can sync to the outlook from one Blackberry phone to the PC, then sync them back from PC to another Blackberry phone

What about the phone settings, alarms, defined keys, password, ring tone, bookmark settings ... etc

A quick and easy way to do is using the Blackberry Desktop Manager built-in function 
--> Device switch wizard

You can use the device switch wizard to import data from a BlackBerry® device, Palm® device, or Windows Mobile® powered device to another BlackBerry device.

If you switch between BlackBerry devices, the device switch wizard is able to import supported email messages, organizer data, third-party applications, and BlackBerry® Enterprise Server connection options from the current device to your new device. Basically all previous phone settings and data will be transfered to the new device in one go.

If you switch from a Palm device or a Windows Mobile powered device to a BlackBerry device, the device switch wizard is will import the organizer data from the current supported device to the new BlackBerry device.

Follow below Steps;

  1. Connect your current device and the new device to your computer e.g. via USB cable
  2. Open the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager, check the devices are all detected correctly
  3. Click Device Switch Wizard
  4. Select the correct switch (either the left or the right option) Click Start
  5. Select the From and To device and their pin
  6. Start transferring (take a minute or longer depends on your data size)
That's it.
