Export a CSV Contacts File to Your Blackberry
This applies to Blackberry Desktop Software Service Pack 1 and Earlier and is posted on blackberry.com's website, so this is not my material, but theirs, and appears to be helpful.
Steps
- Connect your Blackberry to the Computer;
- Open Blackberry Desktop Manager and double-click Intellisync;
- In the Intellisync window, click Configure PIM;
- Select the Address Book check box, and then click Choose;
- Select ASCII Import/Export and click Export
- Click Browse and type Blackberry.csv for the file name. This will create the file Blackberry.csv.
- Click Open. When prompted with the message This File Does Not Exist, click Yes;
- In the Choose Application section, click OK, and then click OK on Configuration;
- Click Synchronize Now. This will create the CSV file with the field mapping required to add contacts;
- Add the contact to the CSV file, and then repeat step 4;
- Select ASCII Import/Export and click Import
- Click Synchronize Now. This imports the contact from the CSV file to the Blackberry Device.
Warnings
- This is for Blackberrys, not other smartphones.
Things You'll Need
- A Blackberry
- A saved CSV contacts file on your computer (your email will give you instructions on how to do this if it is Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, or a major e-mail server).
- Blackberry's Desktop Manager software (it comes with the Smartphone)
