BlackBerry Curve to iPhone 3G & 3GS

How can I import my contacts from my BlackBerry Curve to iPhone 3G & 3GS?
Any ideas would be very grateful.

As the two operating systems of the devices are completely different, it is unlikely any of th applications will transfer.
For the contacts, sync your BB to your desktop, such as Outlook using Desktop Manager, and then sync the iPhone to your Outlook. I guess the iPhone will sync to Outlook, you'll have to get details on that probably in a iPhone forum somewhere. Good luck.

Advice Needed : Blackberry Curve or Iphone

Im having a tough decision, I really need to get a smartphone for my business needs and I am torn between a Blackberry or an iphone. I have a variety of friends that I have asked for advice and it seems to break down like this. All my rich business oriented friends all seem to like the blackberry. All my bohemian, hipster, bandwagon friends like the iphone. I run my own business as a freelance creative professional and keeping in touch is very important to me. I also care about looking cool. What do you guys think?

If you need reliable push email notification (by reliable, I mean consistent notification of new email very soon after it arrives in your mailbox...), and reliable email delivery, I'd suggest the BlackBerry.
The unfortunate fact is that the Yahoo Push email feature isn't dependable today (perhaps not all users are affected, but some clearly are)... Users have also seen issues sending email (myself included)... where the iPhone indicates that the email was sent without error... but it's being dropped silently somewhere, never to arrive.
There are indications that Apple/Yahoo are working on a fix, but it's yet to come. I'm hoping the predicted 1.1.2 release will address these issues, but am not depending on it.
I moved from a BlackBerry Pearl to the iPhone. While I LOVE the ability of the iPhone to render HTML email (something my Pearl couldn't do.. and an HTML email was essentially impossible to read), the inconsistent Push performance has frustrated me no end.
The availability of supported 3rd party apps was also nice on the BlackBerry... but it looks like we could have this addressed with the iPhone SDK coming out early next year. I really miss having a password vault application (Splash Data's SplashID for example) on my handheld.
If Push Email performance isn't a concern, and you have no immediate need for 3rd party apps (or don't mind working around the limitation using an unsupported mechanism), the iPhone's a great choice. Don't get me wrong, I love my iPhone... but Push email is currently not a strong point in my experience.
Check out the email section of the iPhone discussion for further information. Search for "push". There's a thread there with ~100 replies discussing the push email woes some users are experiencing.

Use the usb cable that comes with your iPhone to connect it to your Mac. Read the directions that came with the iPhone. Post in the iPhone forums where the iPhone gurus are. Google... Look to the right of your post in the "More Like This" column...

Need help with a Blackberry Curve 9300, please...

Hello, everyone, I had a look around the forum and came across a post which offered advice one what to include in questions, so I have tried to include the info below.
Device info
Your carrier: Unlocked (was using Virgin)
Model info and OS version (Go to Settings, then Options, then about): Blackberry Curve 9300, OS 6
Apps and free space
File free before and after a battery remove/replace. (Go to Settings, then Options, then status): 60%
Did a battery pull fix your issue? No
Apps installed and their version if possible. (Go to Settings, then Options, then applications): None, only the ones that come with it after reset to factory
BT device model/version (you will have to look at the BT device): Don't know what this means
When writing your question
Any other details that would help us out with your issue: This was my teenage brother's phone, which since has been given to me. The phone was severely mistreated; thrown around, stepped on and chewed. The battery had to be replaced as well as the middle chassis and the front and back cases along with the keyboard, bottom clip and screen.
Good description of what is really wrong and how to reproduce if possible. Details of what you did before: I managed to get it working after I had replaced everything listed above, but it will not charge using the cable. I have to keep taking the battery out and plugging it in seperately to charge, then putting back in the phone. This is after replacing the cable as my brother broke that too, so it's not the cable. He's damaged the data/ charge port.
The camera will not work, but at the moment I am not looking for a solution for that. The error is: "Could not start the camera. Close other applications and try opening the camera again". No applications are open and the OS has just been updated to the most recent version. For this reason, I think he's managed to break that too and it would need to be replaced if that's possible.
My issue at the moment... My mother, as you can imagine is furious with him for trashing the phone she bought him at about £250 when it was new a couple of years ago. So, as I have managed to get it to turn on and pick up wi-fi, she has said I can keep it. I am on Virgin Mobile and this phone is unlocked. It will not pick up any network even using my Virgin SIM card which works fine. My brother was also using it on Virgin.
I can use it with wi-fi and have already contacted t-mobile and Virgin Mobile to make there there's no problem with them. There isn't. The number has been put under my ownership and the phone registered to me now. It is not blocked or blacklisted, yet, only comes up with SOS for network.
Because of this, they and the local phone shop think he might have damaged the antenna inside. I am an iPhone user, this is the first time I have used a Blackberry, so I have no idea - can the antenna be repaired by myself?
Or, given that the camera doesn't work either/ needs replacing, would it just be better to get a replacement using my contents insurance? I am unsure which would be cheaper, to get the parts and try and fix it myself, or pay the excess for the insurance.
Advice appreciated... Thanks in advance.

Hey MaggzieP,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
This KB article will determine if it is a software or hardware related issue for the camera: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15544
Also if you tried more than 1 SIM card in the BlackBerry Curve 9300 smartphone and it still shows SOS, this could be hardware related as well.
For all repairs, I can only suggest checking with the point of sale or network service provider for further options.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Mac OS 10.9.1(Maverick) + Blackberry Desktop Software 2.4.0 build 18 and Blackberry Curve 9320 - unable to sync Mac contacts nor calendars

this is so frustrating!
I upgraded to mac OS 10.9.1 a few months ago. I can no longer sync my mac contacts nor calendars onto my Blackberry Curve - this is my business phone.
I've hunted and hunted around for a solution and have got nowhere, other than a very long convoluted method which requires me to back-up my mac contacts, go into various files and change things ... all very risky. I appreciate that Mac have done the dirty by seeminly removing iSync and unabling Sync Services in the normal sense of the word, but I would've thought that Blackberry by now would have come up with a work around?
Can I export the data and import it into the phone somehow? or Has anyone got a viable solution? If not the blackberry is going in the bin and I will get a smart phone that does "talk" to my mac.
Many thanks

I have the same problem, and a supervisor Apple Support guy just told me (23 jan 14), after 2 days of searching, that it is impossible to sync a BB with Mavericks...
I am furious too : it is just like if Apple would be telling plainly that an iPhone cannot phone to a BB...!

Blackberry curve 9220 abruptly stopped working

I have purchase a blackberry curve 9220 in last week of march this year, after three months its aburptly stopped working. I have submitted it around 11 days back to delhi based blackberry service center (Expert Center, Nehru Place, New Dehli) but till now there is no update.
Can anyone update me what should I do shall I purchase some other mobile or wait for its repair?
If reparing would take time period like this then what is benefit of purchasing blackberry phone why should not to purchase phone from other venders (like Nokia, Samsung) who have very responsive service center.
Blackberry service center are hell nobody want's to go their as they never respond correctly.

I recommend an iPhone and you need to follow up your unit. Getting or replacing a smartphone can be expensive; more than $200 for even the most basic model. One of the questions sales representatives will often ask is if you would like to insure the phone. Is that insurance worth it?

I am now thinking of switching to iphone since nobody seems to be able to fix this issue. Can anyone help? Thanks,
Hello,
If I had a penny for every time someone made that threat. It is so fun, is it not? One of the benefits we have in this world is choice...each of us is free to do so...making threats to do so is silly, IMO. Especially in your first post in this user-to-user volunteer-contributed forum.
You already are in the formal support queue with your carrier. I suggest you continue to pursue that. They have the ability to escalate your case all the way into RIM. You should be asking for that.
Good luck!

Switch b/w edge and GSM on Blackberry Curve 9380

Hey few days back I bought Blackberry Curve 9380. Basically I'm new to Blackberry Universe.
Generally when I'm at home, I prefer to use GSM only coz I have Wi-Fi. But when I swtich off data usage, connect to Wi-Fi, the Browser and other internet applications say that they are unable to internet.
Also guide me how to switch b/w GSM & edge network...
Solved!

First Your need BIS - Blackberry Internet Serives subscription from Vodafone IN, this is the unique feature which seperates other mobile devices from Blackberry.
Browser, Facebook,twitter and all other apps require BIS subscription. Only appworld will work in Wi-Fi mode.
You can change the Browser settings to Hotspot to work in wifi, but i think in OS 7 it will detect automatically.
if you have BIS subscription 3G is free.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Let's start with the emails. What method did you configure for email? BIS, BES, Desktop Redirector?

How can I get my blackberry curve 8900 to update to 5.0 and get wifi to work?

I bought a blackberry curve 8900 around a year ago on an AT&T plan back when data plans werent required, so it just has minutes and texting. because of an issue i had with data before, i have data disabled completely on my account to prevent any mistaken data being used up and charging me. my AT&T contract recently expired so i called them up and got my blackberry unlocked, and will be soon switching to tmobile.
My problem is that it refuses to update past 4.6 over to 5.0 because of some restriction on it placed by AT&T, and my wifi wont work unless i have data enabled for the same reason. Is there anything i can do? I've tried installing 5.0 from different service providers onto my phone but it never installs properly.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
While you can (with just a trick or two) use any carriers OS package for your specific model number, it won't do any good since all 5.0 level OS's require a data plan, regardless of which carrier. So, without that, you can't update to 5.0. Further, it is the data plan that activates BIS -- which is what is used to run the BlackBerry Browser...hence that non-functionality also. Basically, a BB without a data plan is, to many, pretty useless.
There are other browsers that bypass BIS and will use a generic data plan (assuming you have that)...OperaMini and Bolt come to mind. You might give those a try.
Good luck!
