Blackberry to iPhone....

There are a couple of features I would like to see improved upon with the iPhone. I am an avid Blackberry user and just finally made the switch to an iPhone. I use Apple products for everything else, so I thought it was time I started using an iPhone. Although, with the iPhone calendar, there are limited options under "repeat" and I don't see the options to enter relative dates, something like "repeat every month on the 3rd Thursday".
I also wish that Apple would include some type of multiple profiles for sound and notifications. The options are so very limited and it seems this is two places where the Blackberry is superior. I liked having various preset options that I could switch to quickly to change the notification options if for example you are in a meeting, etc. These are things that I would like to see changed or improved upon. I wouldn't mind having better notifications of new messages (similar to the red star that blackberry places on the folder of new messages) and even a light similar to what blackberry uses with more options ie. to have the light off or on etc.)

Although, with the iPhone calendar, there are limited options under "repeat" and I don't see the options to enter relative dates, something like "repeat every month on the 3rd Thursday".
Whilst this cannot be done on the iPhone, it can be done in iCal, if you go into 'Repeat' and select 'Custom" and set the repeat pattern you want, you can then sync back to your Iphone and the custom repeat will show.
I wouldn't mind having better notifications of new messages (similar to the red star that blackberry places on the folder of new messages.)
If you go to Settings>Notifications>Mail and/or Messages>ON and then select the Alert Style and also enable Badge App Icon, that will notify you in the pull down notification centre and also indicate the number of messages or mail messages on the respective icon.
You can also send feedback directly to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Blackberry to iPhone 3G - ARGH: help with push-pull-sync

I just switched from a blackberry to iPhone and cant figure out how to have my email/contacts/calendars sync'd in REAL TIME across my phone and PC. My primary email account is on a personal domain and I primarily use my phone and Outlook (thick client) to manage emails, contacts and calendar items.
My blackberry would do all of this automatically and I didn't need to run any special software (such as activesync) on a server to obtain this functionality.
It seems like I could setup a "@me.com' account to do this in a round about sort of way however is this really necessary to have this type of functionality? I've got to believe that there is a 'blackberry way' to do this.
I don't want or need another email address. I just want real-time synchronization of email/contacts/calendars for my EXISTING email address / existing domain.
Can someone help? Thanks!

RIM provides a dedicated email delivery service and over the air syncing for contact information and calendar events so ActiveSync isn't required, but this isn't free to companies that incorporate it instead of using a direct connection to their Exchange Server with mobile devices via ActiveSync.
Not sure how this works with a personal account.
Apple does not provide a dedicated email delivery service for different email accounts and for an Exchange account. Apple licensed ActiveSync from Microsoft for the iPhone which provides for Push access with an Exchange account, along with over the air syncing for contact information and calendar events direct between the iPhone and the Exchange server.
Apple provides a MobileMe account - which is designed for personal use and is "Exchange for the rest of us". This includes Push access for the MM email account, and over the air syncing for contact information and calendar events between the iPhone, the supported application or applications on your computer, and the MobileMe "cloud".
If you want over the air syncing for contact information and calendar events with your iPhone, you need an Exchange Account that supports accessing the account via ActiveSync, or a MobileMe account.

How can i transfer contacts from a blackberry to iPhone 4s?

I just got an iPhone 4s. And I need to transfer all contacts and data (notes, calendars, etc) to my new phone from blackberry 9780. How can I do that?

Transfer them from the blackberry to your computer, using whatever program is best for that, into your addressbook or contacts app on your compuer (Outlook, for example).
Then use iTunes to sync them from Outlook to your iPhone.

For Contacts transferring, try MobileTrans. Works fine for my Galaxy Note 2.
Messages transferring is also supported.

How can i copy my diary from blackberry to iphone 3gs - this si my first iphone so not sure how to use anything at the moment but my diary is the most important bit i need!

how can i copy my diary from my old blackberry to new iphone 3GS - this is my first iphone so i am complete novice! I hope to avoid re-inputting every entry!

You probably already figured this out, but....
The iPhone will sync from various things on your computer (check the manual for details) but if your Blackberry won't export the data or sync to anything, then you'll need to get the info off the Blackberry manually.
Alternatively, it might be possible to set the Blackberry up to sync with Google Calendar, maybe, to export the data? I don't know anything about Blackberrys. Try a google search or ask on BB forums with help getting the data out.
But it will be easier to manually type into something on your desktop/web, then sync with the iPhone, rather than hand-entering on the phone itself. Then keep syncing with whatever you decided to use, so that you'll never need to do this again.

Download/sync your contacts to a compatible program and sync to iphone.
From the manual:
"Sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address
Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts,
Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft
Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. ("

Activation Process from Blackberry to Iphone

Has anyone ported the cell phone portion of a Verizon Blackberry to an Iphone and kept the data plan with Verizon? Are there any special steps to get this done smoothly? Would it be easier to get new blackberry service with Verizon or someone else since I'll be charged with the early termination fee when I do this?
Thanks..

Thanks for the response. I do intend to purchase the data plan with my Iphone. I'm just concerned that since my Blackberry phone number is also tied to my blackberry data plan that this will cause issues during the standard activation process..For work purposes I need to carry a blackberry so I know that I will being paying for two data plans (actually one since my employer will pay for the blackberry portion).. I just want find out if anyone has done this and the smoothest route to get my Verizon Blackberry number on my Iphone but keep my Blackberry data on the blackberry device..

Moving from Blackberry to iPhone...

I'm going to upgrade from a Blackberry to an iPhone, and would like to know the easiest way to transfer my contacts and a few photos to the iPhone. I see on my BB on the menu for my phone book an option that says "SIM Phone Book." Does this put all my contacts on the SiM card, and then when I move the SIM card to the iPhone, all my contacts will be there?
I have a multimedia card in the BB; will this be compatible with the iphone, so that my photos can be on the iphone?
I'm not very tech savvy, and hope there's a very simple way to do this.
Thanks!

Hi there.......there is a simpler and much much easier way to do this (and not a lot of ppl are aware of this either).
I have just upgraded my package with O2 from my blackberry onto a new iPhone 5. The first question that hit me is 'how do I transfer all the sim contacts from my blackberry onto my new I-phone ???'
The answer is easy.... Download an app called ( INTOUCH ) onto your blackberry. When you open the app it takes a second to create a user account that is unique to yourself. once you open the app you can then sync all your current sim contacts onto there web server. then download the same app on your new phone (i.e iphone) which you can get on the app store for free. load the app up on your new phone then you can pull all your contacts down to your iphone and thats it ....it really is that simple!!
if you go onto google and type in INTOUCH app you will see the results that come up there. for blackberry users it can be downloaded on bb app world.
as far as im aware the app works on majority of devices, and the beauty is that once you've created an account, any handset you have wit he app installed on it, will automatically and simultaneously update the,selves on each phone with contacts you have either deleted or added etc..

Transfert blackberry vers iphone 5

Bonjour à tous, je viens de recevoir mon iphone 5, comment transférer mes données blackberry (contacts, photos, musiques) vers l'iphone ?
Merci par avance de vos réponses.
Eric

You need to get them into a supported contact application on your computer, then sync them to your phone. Windows: Outlook, Windows Address Book; OS X: Contacts.
I believe Blackberry has an application you can use to do this.

You can try apps like dropbox.
Or you can import those pics from your Android to your computer, then use iTunes to sync those photos to your iphone.

Help! Just swapped from Blackberry to iPhone & drowning in spam

Just got 3g iPhone and set up my O2 pop3 account for email and getting crazy amount of spam - any advice gratefully received.
Thanks - Graeme

Advice? Get another email provider... you shouldn't have to deal with that. I had the same problem before I got the iPhone and I switched to GMail for personal stuff... I now get maybe a few spams/month. I would guess that Yahoo is just as good, although I have little experience with them. Both work well with the iPhone.

Getting email contacts from Blackberry to Iphone 4

I am unable to get my old contacts from Blueberry to Iphone4. Do I have to manually add all contacts and emails in the new phone. I have used VZ contact transfer through My Verizon. It didn't transferr all contacts and no emails.

Unfortunately email account transfers just aren't possible between Blackberry OS and iOS. They're just too different, so you'll need to copy over those server-bits manually.
As for contact transfers, I would see about Syncing the Blackberry with your PC or Mac via Blackberry Desktop:
Mac: http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/desktop_mac.jsp
PC: http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/desktop_pc.jsp
(if your older handset is unsupported, there is a link on the bottom of the PC page to download earlier versions)
Once the contact information is actually on the PC or Mac, syncing will be much easier to do through applications like Outlook, Entourage, Address Book, or even online solutions like MobileMe and Google Sync.

Switching from blackberry to iphone what do i do

Hi
Just got iphone 5s, how do i switch the cell service over from blackberry

When you purchased the iPhone 5S, didn't you tell the vendor the cellular telephone number, etc.? It should be all set then. Just turn your iPhone on and follow the directions.
