The easiest way to do this is using the Blackberry Desktop Software.



1-Connect your Blackberry to your computer using your USB cable

2-Open the Blackberry Desktop Software on your computer (Double click it)

3-Wait till the Desktop software detects your blackberry

4-Click on "Device"

5-Click "Switch Devices"

6-Follow the Instructions.



The Blackberry Desktop software will first back up all of the files in your blackberry, then once this is done, it will ask you to disconnect your Blackberry and connect the new device (Your father's blackberry). It will transfer all of your data and files to your new device.



I remember in the past I didn't know this how to do this and I used to spend a looooooooooong time transferring all of the info from my old phone to my new one. It Sucked!

Best way would be to backup everything on the old phone, using Desktop Manager software for Blackberry phones. then restore that backup to the new phone, this will restore application settings, text, emails, BBM contacts, etc, and the lastest versions should back up most third party apps as well.



This is how I was able to get apps that I could no longer download (discontinued or the maker stopped supporting it and pulled it from their website), on later Blackberries I owned.How to transfer data from an old blackberry to a new blackberry?
