Synchronizing contacts
About synchronizing contacts
Note:
This feature is only supported on BlackBerry® devices that are running BlackBerry® Device Software 5.0 or later. Depending on your
messaging service plan, this feature might not be supported.
When you add a Google Mail™ email address to the BlackBerry® Internet Service, you can synchronize the My Contacts list in your Google Mail
account with your BlackBerry device. You can add, change, and delete your Google Mail contacts from your device or from your Google Mail
account, and the BlackBerry Internet Service synchronizes the changes between your device and your Google Mail account.
If your BlackBerry device is also associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, the contacts application on your
device will contain contacts from both your Google Mail account and from the email account that uses the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. You
cannot synchronize contacts between your Google Mail account and the email account that uses the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
To synchronize contacts, you must use the email setup application on your device or log in to the BlackBerry Internet Service web site using a
browser on your computer. You cannot synchronize contacts if you access your BlackBerry Internet Service account from a browser on your
device.
