BlackBerry is a great device. The company that makes BlackBerry phones, RIM, was known to make some of the best business devices in the world. However, as Android took over the mobile OS landscape, BlackBerry OS was forced to take a backseat, not only to Google's Android, but also to Apple's iOS. Today, BlackBerry has embraced the Android ecosystem and there are some truly gorgeous Android-run BlackBerry devices on the market, like the stunning DTEK60, the Motion and the Priv, among others.

If you have an old BlackBerry device and you are wondering how to copy the contacts from the phone to your computer, there are a couple of options open to you.

Once you do this and the process is complete, all of the information on your device will be available on your PC.

Note: If you have a BlackBerry 10 or later device, then the company suggests using BlackBerry Link instead.

If you have a BlackBerry smartphone running on the Android operating system, you can use the Contacts app to move your address book to your PC. To do this, you will first need to open the Contacts app on your Android-run BlackBerry device. In the Contact apps menu, tap on the Import/Export option, and then tap on Export to SD card.
