Blackberry to Desire Help.

Welcome...

Didn't come from a Blackberry (TouchHD) but I used Sprite Migrate to move everything over. Its dead easy, free and only takes 20 mins or so.

Heres a link

Thanks a million!! :)

According to that link: "On BlackBerry we currently migrate contacts, call logs and bookmarks."

I am looking to get everything over to my Desire.

ahhh...

I got more coming from WinMo. Would have thought media would be doable by transferring off sd card in BB then onto card in desire...

Dunno about SMS\email though.

I am pretty sure I can transfer my media, was wondering more about sms.

Thank you. :)

I just migrated contacts to google using google sync. Im not convinced you're going to get SMS.

Edit> Well the emails will be on the server anyway.

Can I get all my past emails onto my Desire?

Unless you have deleted them from googles servers then they will come over when you set the phone up although by default it only syncs a certain date range. If you need the whole lot you would probably need to set up the "mail" or something like "K9" (not google mail) app to connect to your gmail via IMAP and tell it to download everything.

Sounds complicated...

Its easy really ;)
Have you got your Desire yet?

If not come back when you have and I'm sure someone will be able to help you out.

I should get it on Saturday (if Vodafone is nice to me)! ;)

Nah, gmail will only sync so much, but you can search your entire mailbox through the app. I've just opened an email from feb 2005.

Blackberry internet service will only delete gmail emails if you set it up with IMAP in the first place, so they should still be on the server.

Thanks, that is good to know!!

You might want to have a look at mybackup at RerWare, LLC: Home of the #1 mobile backup\migrate application - MyBackup Pro

To quote the website

MyBackup Pro allows users to create backups of their phone's important data, and gives them the ability to restore that data on to any phone MyBackup Pro supports, regardless of the platform. Backup from Blackberry, restore on Android, it's that easy!

You might wangle it all for free with the demo... Worth a try.

Edit: Just seen its contacts\call logs only same as Sprite
