Google Sync for BlackBerry will let you sync your contacts from Gmail onto your BlackBerry device. There are many great resources online that provide details for the Google Sync application. We highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with it before trying the sync.
- On your BlackBerry, browse to: http://m.google.com/sync.
- Download the Google Sync client to your BlackBerry.
Once you have downloaded Google Sync, look for the Google Sync icon on the main menu of your BlackBerry home screen. The first time you use Google Sync it may take a while. Try syncing just your contacts or just your calendar first. Once this initial synchronization has taken place, future updates will be much faster.
