Synch Gmail contacts to Blackberry using Blackberry desktop software V 7

Hi,

After searching a lot, I couldn't find the way to sync my Google contacts to blackberry phone using Blackberry desktop 7, I has done a R&D and got the success.

Download Contacts from Gmail:-
  1. Sign in to Gmail.
  2. Click Gmail at the top-left corner of your Gmail page, then choose Contacts.
  3. From the More drop-down menu, select Export...
  4. To transfer contacts to Outlook, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, or various other apps, use the Outlook CSV format.
  5. Click Export.
  6. Choose Save to Disk then click OK.
  7. Select a location to save your file, and click OK.
Import the contact in Microsoft Outlook:-

Why I am asking to import the contact to Microsoft outlook because Blackberry desktop 7 has no other option than sync from outlook.

  1. Open the Control Panel>Mail>Show Profiles
  2. Open Add. It will ask to give a name to the account. give it 'Temp'.
  3. You will get the prompt to setup new account. Just supply your Gmail credentials in asked fields.
  4. Once you provide all details, You Gmail will start syncing.
  5.  Goto File>Open>Import
  6. Select the Select option 'Import from other program or file' then Next .
  7. Select 'Comma separated values(Windows).
  8. Choose Browse to navigate to the .csv file that you want to import, and then click Open to return to the Import a File window.
  9.  Select Next and choose Contacts as the destination folder, and click Next again.
  10. Click Finish to import the Address Book.
Now your Gmail contacts are saved to your outlook contacts. Only left task is to transfer contacts to Blackberry. Connect your Blackberry phone with your laptop with USB datacable.

  1. Open Blackberry Desktop Software 7.
  2. Open Organize>Contacts>One way to your device only>Configure.
  3. Select the Temp profile which you have created. and Sync.
You are done. Your contacts will be synced.
