Does anyone know how to download or sync a blackberry curve with the address info on outlook express.

I have windows xp. I can transfer media but can't figure out if i can download  from my Outlook Express.

I don't have a Curve but I have had my hands on them a time or two. So let me ask this... Did your device come with some sort of Desktop Manager software? The reason I ask is because with the Storm bundle you get two other pieces of software included with your device. One of the pieces being the Desktop Manager. This software will allow you to sync. There will be a sync Icon on the home screen once you start the Desktop Manager.

Since I don't know if this comes with the Curve bundle, I'll stop here for now until you reply to my question. If it does come with the software, I'll try to walk you through the steps to sync.

Okay, Let's see. First you will need to plug your phone into your computer an start the Desktop Manager. After the start up routine, you should then see an icon that says sync. Select this icon. You should then see a screen that say Synchronize. In the middle of your screen the only selection that needs to be checked is synchronize organizer data. To the left middle of this screen you should see a grabable link to synchronize. Select this link. This will then bring you to a page that says synchronization configuration. From this screen you will need to select the Synchronization tab on the right above the two other tabs that say Reset Configuration and View Log. Now your Desktop Manager will start another application called intellisync. In this screen you should see 4 selections with boxes to the left of each selection. Let's select  the box for address book. Next you will see a screen for Address book setup. Select the appropriate application then select next. Now you will tell the application how to sync using the screen called Synchronization Options. Select the one at the bottom that says one way sync to Device. This will direct data from your Computer to your Device. You will then see a the message Congratulations, you have successfully configured the product. You will select finish and you should start to see your address book form your computer being imported to your device.

 

Hope this helps... Good Luck

P.S. I forgot to tell you that you will need to clear your Cache Operations. To do this you will open your Browser/Menu(BlackBerry)Buttton/Options/Cache Operations/Then clear everything that you see there. This will help to avoid any problems with the importing of data from your computer to your device.
