How To Copy Your Contacts From Your BlackBerry Phone To Your Android Phone :

There are two methods use in copying your contacts from your BlackBerry to your android phone. It's left for you to choose one method. Get started by following the simple procedures written below.

Method 1 (Works only on android phones

3. Open Google sync, sign in with your gmail account and Sync contacts to Google(by clicking sync now).

4. On your android phone, go to your phone's settings ( if you don’t have a shortcut/ icon on your home-screen, you can find your phone's setting icon in your list of apps ).

Now make sure the "Back up my data" tab is checked, and if it is not, check it right now.

This option would ensure that your contacts are backed up automatically. As soon as you add a contact to your phone book it will automatically be backed up( synced ) to your signed in Gmail account. If you lose your phone through any means or like in this case you want to copy your contacts from your blackberry phone, your contacts will be restored when you sign in to your google account and switch the synchronize button on your google account.
