After much fucking about: Blackberry calender sync to Google sort of works, but not in any way useful to me. 15:20:57, 2015-04-30
Email setup means it'll sync all Google Calender apointments to the BB. Any new entries on the BB will sync to GC. Prior existing ones dont. 15:21:58, 2015-04-30
And no, re-saving the BB calender apointments don't make them count as new. They don't transfer that way either. 15:22:44, 2015-04-30
And no, the @samsung SmartSwitch software doesn't work either. It crashes the momment it tries to read my backup file. 15:23:29, 2015-04-30
So my only option seems to be to accept the loss of my SMS history, and manually re-enter all the appointments. 15:24:17, 2015-04-30
I did eventually get MagicBerry to run without crashing and on the 4th attempt get a read of the backup file. 15:24:57, 2015-04-30
MagicBerry exported the SMS history as an apparently complete but incompatible CSV format and added 100 years to all exported calender dates 15:26:12, 2015-04-30
@DrSteegle Unfortunately the only free tool I can export a CSV with (MagicBerry) corrupts all the start & end dates. All random circa 2083. in reply to DrSteegle 17:34:52, 2015-04-30

Turns out the Samsung "Smart Switch" software doesn't work. Can't import my calender or message history from the Blackberry to the S3. 01:01:39, 2015-04-29
I feel like fucking crying. It's one technical failure after another this week. 01:02:16, 2015-04-29
Currently installing Windows Essentials because I *might* be able to sync the BB calender with it & sync that with the S3. 01:17:28, 2015-04-29
No, it's not detecting it. The only options for automatic importing now seem to be buying expensive 3rd party software. 01:24:06, 2015-04-29
Since I can't afford that it means spending a day manually copying across the content of the calender & loosing all history. 01:24:47, 2015-04-29
