Transfer data using a media card and the Device
Switch app
This data transfer method is available if you switch from a BlackBerry device running the BlackBerry OS (version 5.0 to 7.1)
or the BlackBerry 10 OS.
Only the data saved in the storage space on your previous device or on the media card is transferred. Any data that is
wirelessly backed up or synchronized with a web-based account isn't transferred to your new device. This method is
designed to move the data in your personal space but not the data in your work space.
