I wish it was that easy. Unfortunately, on my BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220, I see no such option as "Add to address book." I do see "Copy All to Contacts," but I only want to add a few of my SIM card contacts to my phone's contact list, so that's no good. Guess I'm going the manual route unless I can find a different solution.

I already have a blackberry pearl and now have a blackberry curve. I want to import my address book to my sim card so i can put in my sim card to the new blackberry and then add to the addfress book in the new phone but you cant do this, which i think is pathetic. Blackberry's are brilliant phone's but for such a simple feature i cant believe it doesn't have this. Any other make of phone on the market has this feature!!!!! The only way round this is having to install the Blackberry software to your computer and put the contacts from your old address book into bb device manager and then connect your new phone to the device manager and sync. All very good but im stuck in a Iraq away from my home in britain with no access to a computer until now and i dont have the bb software disk with me to do so! So im stuck with a new phone i cant use!!! Great Blackberry i still cant believe i cant do this. I think you need sometimes go back to the basics and be more user friendly!!
