I had a curve for around a week and got some free apps I liked which BB app world says are not compatible with the Bold. I never backed them up or used the desktop manager so they are sitting on my Curve. I really don't want to go through activating/deactivating the Curve again to get these apps back to try them on the Bold and see if they actually are compatible. Generally do these apps eventually become available after a new phone is released ? If so how long does it take?
You shouldn't have to reactivte the curve. Plugging it into desktop manager and using the device switch wizard might work. However the curve has a different screen resolution so the apps may not work right. You may have to look for alternates.

Back up the cod's from the Curve to a folder with bbsak and then install the cod's onto the Bold. But as sky said, with the different resolutions, the old apps may not work with the Bold.
