Transfer email addresses from gmail to BB

I recently got the Blackberry Curve 8330.

I have it set up with my Gmail account and I'd like to know if there is an easy way to transfer my contact email addresses from Gmail to my contacts on my Blackberry?

Would it bep ossible by exporting the contacts to an excel spreadsheet and then importing into the BB contacts?

Any help or tips would be appreciated! Thank you! :)

Have you tried the Gmail app for the BB? downloading and installing that may allow you to copy the contacts from one account to the eMail on the BB. Not sure, never tried it.

Then again, I just set up my three BIS accounts and have wireless reconcile set to ON and it pulled my Gmail contacts to my phone by itself, it just took a little while to do so.

In Gmail you can export your contacts from the contacts page. I would recommend using "Outlook CSV" format, since the BB & software are designed to sync with Outlook. Then using Desktop Manager you can import the CSV file.

You may have to tweak some of the field mappings, but it should be pretty close without doing anything special.
