Renton 18240 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'm pretty dense really. Especially when it comes to technology, so I'm going to ask a question which is no doubt dense. There's no rush like cos I'll have two phones for a while, but is there a way of transferring numbers from one phone to another, or will I just have to do it manually keeping the numbers I want on me new phone number? You need to enable bluetooth on both phones then there's an option to export or import contacts. It can be a pain - transferring from my work blackberry to my new HTC took a few goes. A USB cable should work just as well? I can never be arsed with Bluetooth personally except in my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a good play round with it last time it's excellent really is, can watch the news on it and everything. Only thing though when am typing because me hands are so big its like an elephant trying to coherently type on a keyboard. Can't you just synch it with your Outlook contacts? Or, failing that, put your contacts on your SIM and transfer them directly? Pretty shit at this stuff myself tbf, I think going forward Outlook (or similar) is the solution though - you'll need to synch to your diary too. See above. I might just take it to a mobile phone shop and they can dee it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's swings and roundabouts - I've basically had a completely free mobile for 5 years so any limitations are fine - I bought the new personal phone in anticipation of leaving.

I don't like the mini-keyboard and tiny screen of the Blackberry but I'm not arsed about arguing about it.

McFaul 35 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Anyone had any hassle with the power life of their Blackberry? I've only DL one app, Twitter for it, and I'll charge it so it's fully powered then 12 hours later it's dead. WTF is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 8850 lasts 3 or 4 days no problem Stevie so that sounds iffy - though maybe you should check your wireless settings to ensure it switches off wi-fi if nothing is in range.
