How to export Address Book from Blackberry to Samsung Vibrant

How to export Address Book from Blackberry to Yahoo Contacts

Using the Blackberry Desktop Manager, I connected my phone to the computer. Once the connection has been established, here's how to do it. I'm not sure if this is the quickest way, but it doesn't take that long and is very easy to do:

Open up a Yahoo account if you don't already have one (it is free). Open up desktop manager, connect to your Blackberry and double click on "Synchronize." Go to the "Configuration" tab, and click on "Configure synch." Click on "Address Book" and then the "Choose" button. Select "Yahoo" and "Export," then back to the main Syncrhonize window. Click the "Syncrhonize" tab, make sure "Syncrhonize Organizer Data" is on, then press "Synchronize now." Now go to address. yahoo. com. In the upper right corner, click "Import/Export." Under Export, click the button next to "vCard, Zip of .VCF files," and save the .zip file. Now save the file into your computer's hard disk. Create a folder in the SD card of the Samsung Vibrant and unzip all the vCard files contained in the zip file into the folder you have created. Now you are set to import the vCards into your Samsung Vibrant.

Importing contacts to Vibrant

In Contacts, go to Settings>More>Import/Export

Export the contacts to SD.

Then go Import/Export

and Import them from SD to phone.

Wait for the phone to read the vCards from the SD card. Follow screen instructions.

Then, when you select a Contact, and choose edit, you will see 2 tabs at the top; Your Gmail syncs and Phone. Choose the Phone tab, and you'll see all of the contacts. Then when you choose to edit one, the option to choose a ringtone, group, etc. for each contact will be available to you.

Then, if you so choose, you can choose the View option under settings, and uncheck the gmail contacts, and leave only the Phone contacts viewable (unless you also have facebook, etc. contacts you wish to be viewable as well).

In any case, I think this should work well for you.
