It was fine with my C3 nokia phone.
Remind: in gmail contact you can import csv or vcard file. And moreover, you can also export to backup (or whatever) your contacts.

Works for me.
But!
I notice that all syncing with GMail is always done using GPRS, never over Wifi.
To confirm, I removed GPRS settings and the phone can't sync any more. I tried every option but there just doesn't seem any way to sync over Wifi. Note: I can use all other options, browser, email, etc.

Hey Guys:
Got a c3 last week when my bb went if for repairs (I am a contractor and even with a otter box it got wet!! Go figure we live in the pacific northwest!!)
Anyways thank you to whoever posted this tip. Sounds like it is working for everyone except me!!
Heres the deal:
-I have tried 3 times
-first time sync went to 71%
-2nd and 3rd time sync went to 92%
Suggestions??
I am going to check out gmail some more. Also watchtower or something (BB backup security software thing). It sucks I lost 500+ business contracts but should have back in a week or so once rogers repairs.
Cheers,
Tristan in Whistler

The best method so far. I wasted 7 hours of trying to import 700+ contact from my Blackberry to C3 via my macbook. Only this method worked like a gem at the end. Thank you sooo much for saving my contacts!!!
