Import Blackberry contact from old phone to new blackberry without erasing already added contacts?
Reader question: So I have about 100 unique contacts on old Blackberry box. I recently got a new tour that I've managed to add about 50 unique contacts. So how do I import the 100 old contacts into my new BB without deleting the new 50 contacts?

Connect the old blackberry to your computer via the USB cable. Install the Desktop Manager software available from Blackberry.com. Run the software, click synchronize, then Configure-Synchronize on the left, then Synchronization on the right, now put a checkmark into Address Book, this should be the only checkmark we have on this screen. Now highlight Address Book and click Setup. Choose ASCII Importer/Exporter, click Next, choose One way Sync FROM Device. Click Next. Click browse, navigate to your desktop and put in the file name contacts.txt. Click OK. Click Next, Finished, OK. Now click the top Synchronize on the left, now make sure there is no checkmark underneath Synchronize automatically. Clik the Synchronize button in the middle. If it says “# Additions” choose allow/accept. When synchronization is complete unplug the old blackberry and plug in the new blackberry, go back to the Synchronization on the left underneath Configure and then Synchronization on the right, highlight address book and choose Setup, Next, One way sync TO Device, MAKE SURE THERE IS NO CHECKMARK IN “Replace all data in the target application.”! Now click, Next, Next, Finish, OK. Click the Synchronize at the top left, then the right. It will inform you it’s going to add contacts to the phone, choose allow and you’re finished.
