It's easy. First backup your Blackberry with the desktop software that came with your phone. You
download it from here if you can't find it. Then just Click, Pick and Run
Now hit the 'Easy Out' button and save as a csv
(comma separated value file) to load into Excel,
Outlook, Lotus Notes etc.
Or, 'Pipe' the text as rows and columns into any of
the Visual Pipe-Fu tools to sort, collate, pattern
match or use as standard input to another utility.
If you need detailed instructions to import a
contacts file into Outlook, click here.
BlackBerry is a registered trademark of Research In Motion Ltd.
The five most common data types, Contacts, Calendar, Email, Phone Log and Instant
Messages (SMS) each have a custom grid on the Easy Out page. All other databases including
Memos, Auto Text and Deleted Emails are extracted as generic text fields by selecting 'Other'.
The free demo will extract the first ten entries of the
contact list. The full version extracts everything
from everything.

When Using Outlook be sure to select View->Current View->Address Cards from the main menu or else
the Primary Phone numbers will remain hidden. This subtle difference in the way Outlook and Blackberry
designate Primary phone numbers tends to confuse and frustrate the uninitiated.
