Default Exporting Address Book Contacts and Info to SIM

how's it going everyone,

I just upgraded my Curve to the new 8900 and am trying to figure out how to export all my contacts and info in my address book to the SIM card so i wont have to manually re-enter every single contact and information. A few quic questions:

What's the best way to do this?

Do only phone numbers get saved on the SIM? I don't ever remember seeing email contacts, addresses, etc. saved onto the SIM.

I noticed I only have 6 or so contacts on my SIM...compared to the 150 contacts in my address book. How is that possible??? I wanna mirror everything in my address book to the SIM card.


Please help. Thanks!

Did you ever sync your Curve with your PC? If so just sync the PC with the new Curve.

If not then T-Mobile might be able to copy the sim card for you. I know that Sprint sells a small inexpensive device to do this. Not sure if it will work with the BB sim card or not.

Only the phone numbers go into the sim book. And you have to do transfer them one at a time. Why not just use the switch device wizard in Desktop Manager? It will take all your stuf and put it on your new device.
