Switching from an iPhone or Android device
If you switch from an iPhone or Android device to a BlackBerry 10 device, you can use the Device Switch app to transfer
your data. You can transfer your contacts, calendar entries, pictures, music, and videos. When you finish setting up your
BlackBerry device, you can add your email accounts and sync the contact and calendar info to your new device.
Transfer data using a Wi-Fi network and the Device
Switch app
You can use the Device Switch app to transfer data from a device running BlackBerry OS version 5.0 to 7.1, a device
running the BlackBerry 10 OS, a device running iOS 6 and later, or a device running Android 2.3 and later to your new
BlackBerry 10 device.
To use the Device Switch app, both of your devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network, preferably a home Wi-Fi
network, since some corporate or public Wi-Fi networks can block the Device Switch app from working.
