Endlessly Curious

It took me a while to figure out the exact steps required to get my contacts on my mobile phone onto my Blackberry and to first wipe the current contacts off the Blackberry.  Thankfully the task was not as complex as I first feared or as tedious as sending each vCard between each device manually (which I’ve had to do in the past when upgrading phones)!  The only extra software that was required was the excellent Blackberry Desktop software for the Mac which you can find here, as iSync is included with Mac OS X.

1. Syncing the Blackberry’s contacts to my iMac’s Address Book and then deleting all the contacts from Address Book.  The contacts on the Blackberry were all old contacts from Outlook at work which were  originally from my old Palm PDA, so I did not need them any more.
2. Syncing the Blackberry to the iMac Address Book to wipe the contacts off the Blackberry.
3. Syncing contacts from my old mobile phone to iMac’s Address book and then syncing the Blackberry to the newly populated Address Book on the iMac was very easy as iSync automatically recognised my Motorola Razr phone and set-up syncing with address book automaticallly.
