BlackBerry® Storm™

It is not possible to import from CSV with this model. But this is not about a Samsung phone, it is about the capability to export a list of contacts and primary numbers from a Blackberry phone to the SIM card.

Ah, well you must copy them one at a time, phone numbers only, no addresses, email addresses, etc., only phone number and name, nothing else.

I can't believe Samsung has NO way to import anything. Oh well.

Good luck.

Hi

Sorry to jump into your thread,but I have a similar problem where I could do with some help.

I am changing companies and all my contacts are on my blackberry 8520 which is locked into the server at work. I have tried to sync to outlook at home, (and have turned off wireless sync), but the default sync path is 'desktop' which of course is my desktop on the work server. I have gone into advanced options/default services, but there is no other option there other than 'desktop'.

Very frustrating I really want to update my outlook so I can resync to my new blackberry when I get it!!

Thanks

Tom

Tom, this possible.
On your BlackBerry go to Options > Advanced > Service Books. Scroll to the entry [Desktop]Sync and delete it.
Now connect your BlackBerry to the PC and perform your sync tp outlook.
While you're connected also perform a full backup. We can always help you restore that backup to the new device.

Thank you for your reply. I have done that and tried to resync, but first get the message that the default service has changed to desktop (as before), and then when I continue the sync I get error code 0*83860028.

I have checked Default services and the sync option has disappeared?

Thanks

Ok, you will be able to use the backup file to restore your address book to your new device.

HI,

I am facing some hardware issues wih my blackberry phone becasue of which i have to give it for repairing at the Blackberry Service Center. As per the staff there, it will take 8-10 days to get it repaired. Meanwhile, i will be using a bakup phone. Now I want to copy all my contacts from the Blackberry Curve to my SIM so that I can use them meanwhile the phone get repaired. Please tell a suitable way as copying 600 odd contacts one by one doesn't seems to be a feasible option.

Thanks

Arpit
