Switch devices If you are switching from a BlackBerry® device that is associated with an existing email
address (for example, a Google Mail™ or Windows Live™ Hotmail® email account) to a new
BlackBerry device, perform the following actions:
1. On your computer, open the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager. Use the Device Switch
Wizard to transfer data from your previous device to your new device. For more
information, see the online help in the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
2. On your new device, on the Home screen or in the Setup folder, open the email setup
application and follow the prompts. If you do not receive the prompts or if you decline
any of the prompts, email messages will not be sent to your new device until you
switch devices manually. If you are selling or buying a previously owned BlackBerry
device that normally connects to a CDMA network, contact your wireless service
provider to complete the process for switching devices.
3. Delete the data from your previous device by doing a security wipe. For more
information, see the user guide for your device.
You can also import data from your previous BlackBerry device, Palm® device, or Windows
Mobile® powered device to your new BlackBerry device using the BlackBerry Desktop
Manager.
Switch your device manuallyIf you do not receive prompts to switch devices automatically when you access the email
setup application, or if you decline any of the prompts, you must switch devices manually.
