If you’re trying to copy your BlackBerry contacts to your new Android phone, don’t fret.. it is possible, and fairly easy, on one of google’s little known products.
With an active internet connection on your BlackBerry, go to http://www.google.com/mobile/blackberry/. It should detect that you’re on a BlackBerry and have a link for you to download the Google Sync app. Download Google Sync and install it, after that it should show up in your list of apps on the Blackberry.
Open the Google Sync app on your BlackBerry, login to your google account, and there should be a Sync Now button at the bottom of the welcome screen once you login.
Once this sync is done, on your Android phone click the Menu button and go to Settings > Data Syncronization, make sure the Contacts setting is checked, hit the menu button again and click Sync Now.

Turn on Bluetooth for both devices
Pair both devices to each other
Go to Blackberry’s Bluetooth setup, and select the Android phone-
Press the enter key or trackpad, and the device menu will pop up.
Select “Transfer Contacts”
Your Android device will popup a request to accept a file named Phonebook.vcf’. Choose ACCEPT
Your Android will now accept your complete contact list!
