    Well I usually save the list to my sd card and restore from there without issues. Maybe you should try using device switcher which I also have done or just restore from a backup of an older device, it kinda just changes ur pin on their contact list. Atleast this has all worked for me before.

    Run the Desktop Manager. Use the Switch Devices Option. This feature will translate across what it can convert, and what is compatible. From older to newer models of phones not everything will be directly compatible as like in a straight copy. If your computer has MS Outlook, you can sync the phone to MS Outlook, and then sync MS Outlook back to the new phone. This should transfer across all the main user data, but not any programs. When using the sync feature, take care to properly set up the sync options in the desktop manager so you don't reverse sync everything from the blank source, and cause a deletion of the data.
