I sync'd my 8900 phone with Blackberry desktop mangaer and then I sold it. Now I have a Samsung Epic and I am trying to get my contacts out of desktop manager but it won't even let me open the software and do anything if it doesn't detect a BB phone.
What you want is an IPD converter program, which just grabs your BB backup file and extracts contacts etc from it. Just Google "ipd extract blackberry" and you'll see a bunch, some are free/trial.
a friend told me to move them from the BB manager and save them under my yahoo account contacts and then sync the yahoo account contacts to your phone. i did it from my BB8900 to an Iphone i was testing and it worked.
