Actually I can view the category fields in my BB Contacts filter, but the contact itself are not classified to any of them. It did in my Treo & Palm Desktop. Should I delete them all and overwrite one more time? (By the way, not sure I'm able to do, cause last time the phone seller did that for me). Many Thanks Peter. Some additional,

You are more brilliant than any help-desk online, you're s 'genius Palm expert' I could say! Just bought BBB 9700/Onyx last Saturday, have the phone seller transferred my 2800 contacts, 1500 memos & calendar from my Tero 680 to it. All contacts & memos are fine, but the calendar missed quite numbers of schedules, especially the 'no time' events, except birthday reminder. Things became worse when I sync my mobile to BB Desktop Manager, all my calendar events in my handset become double stated. Then trying to fix it, I tried your guidance to upload contacts & calendar from BB to Outlook, it works amazingly for the contacts! But unluckily it didn't work for the calendar in outlook. So would like to ask your big helps as below: 1. Can you teach me how to delete this calendar error in my handset? And sync the new correct one from my treo 680 or Palm Desktop. Have tried you review in #39, but cannot find the 'import/export' option in yahoo calendar. I'm using PC, Palm Desktop v4.2, Microsoft Outlook 2003 7 BB Desktop Manager v5.0.1. 2. Since my Outlook calendar is still blank, can you suggest me what to do, so I can transfer them to BB Desktop Manager & overwrite ONLY my handset CALENDAR. (The contacts and memo are fine). 3. And by the way, I can't find my contacts list or calendar displayed on BB desktop Manager, like I used to in Palm Desktop. It makes me more difficult to check, edit or delete data/field which are double. It is normal the BB desktop looks like that, or did I just don't know how? Dare not to connect or sync my handset to BB desktop anymore before asking you, scared that my contacts will multiply to 5000 more, then that would be really2 bad for me to erase them one by one. I'm also a long time user of palm like any others, love it, didn't find any pda/phone better than palm, and never think to switch phone, until BB exist :). Too spoiled by palm OS, with all my datas comfort on hand & especailly the global find convenient. Thanks a zillion in advance for your help Peter. God Bless You.

If you still have all your calendar data in Palm Desktop, try the direct import with BlackBerry Desktop. Be sure to remove any password protection from your Palm Desktop account. @Robin: Comments #20, 28 and 44 indicate that the latest BlackBerry software is able to import calendar data from Palm Desktop.

I have decided to use outlook and my itouch. Thanks to you, I was able to move my contacts over to outlook 2007 but I can't seem to figure out how to move my calendar over. I have the palm software but obviously not my lifedrive. Do you think you could help me? I've opened a google email and yahoo email hoping to get it to transfer to that if necessary. Thank you in advance. I have almost 9 years of dates I would like to keep if at all possible. Peter, my palm lifedrive was stolen after my car was broken into.

Just make sure that you map the CSV fields correctly in Outlook. Once you see the categories in Outlook, then the Blackberry should pick them up just fine.

I have read the above about transferring contacts via Outlook. Here is my question: My contacts are assigned to categories. With over 1000 contacts, re-categorizing them would be torture (I know - I did it once). Does the transfer you describe also transfer contact categories? -Carol I am considering changing from my Treo 755p to a BB. I have read the above about transferring contacts via Outlook.
