Numpty Blackberry Question

[sparkythecat]

How do I transfer my telephone contacts from a Nokia 6303 to my Bold 9700?

I'm familiar with Nokia PC suite and can extracate the data from the Nokia , but am struggling to see how to transfer it onto the Blackberry using Blackberry Desktop Manager.

The way I've done it before - from BB pearl to PC.

Don't use Desktop Manager.

Just treat the BB memory as another memory/hard disc. You may have to get rid of DM to to do this, sorry can't remember the whole thing.

Then you just treat the BB memory card as a, well a memory card, and the same with the Nokia.

Obviously you have to transfer contacts etc. to the memory card etc.
Hope that makes sense!

Well I've managed it, but it was a nightmare.

My Nokia was locked to T Mobile and the Blackberry locked to Vodaphone. I had to copy all the contacts from the Nokia to the T-Mobile SIM, then put that SIM in an unlocked phone and save the contacts to the phone memory. I then had to put the Blackberry Vodaphone SIM in the unlocked phone and copy the contacts onto that, before putting it back in the Blackberry and copying them into it from the SIM.
There were too many contacts to be copied onto the SIM in one hit, so I had to go through this copying procedure twice to get all my contacts to the Blckberry.

There must be an easier way.

Nokia and Blackberry can both sync with Microsoft Outlook, I usually end up setting up a new blank Outlook PST file and syncing them off one device and onto the other
