Blackberry Wireless Sync Setup

Important: Always download you CSV contacts file to your desktop before you do any sync.

This is important for 2 reasons.  The first is it serves as a backup file in case anything goes haywire. Secondly,  you should always download your CSV file and open it in Microsoft Excel in order to clean it up with respect to duplicate entries or misplaced data within columns before you do any syncs.  Saves a lot of time and hassle later.
