Transfer Contacts to Blackberry Device

[Mycopsycho]

Anybody know to transfer contacts from a Windows Mobile 6.1 device (Moto Qh) to a Blackberry?

Sync WM with Outlook, then sync BB with outlook through desktop manager.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I have never been able to get ActiveSyn 4.5 to work to sync Outlook to my Moto Q Global. I've yet to find a solution to what seems to be a not uncommon problem. ActiveSync works for MS Exchange and Explore but not Outlook. I realize a BB forum is not the place to whine about Windows Mobile. I was just hoping there might be another solution for getting off my contacts when I get my BB 9700 in a couple of months.

Motorola Q sync problems with Outlook - Motorola Q - Hello Moto Q Forums

Maybe this is why? Not sure.

Also what version of outlook do you have?

Found another way:

1) Use this to export from WM to .csv file Thunderbird Contacts Export freeware for Windows Mobile Pocket PC.
2) Import contacts into outlook from .csv file
3) Use desktop manager to sync Outlook with the BB

Thanks for the responses. I've tried all the approaches mentioned and then some more. Nothing works. BTW, the Thunderbird Contacts Export file does not produce a .cab file that can be loaded into WM6. Since I use gmail (imap) I'm going to just wait until I get my BB 9700 and then sync my contacts from gmail to my BB. They are my main contacts anyway for my cell phone. Can't wait to dump WM6.

Yeah, the point of thunderbird is to export as .csv, then import .csv into outlook.
