Anyone know how to move everything from this phone over to the new Pearl? Is there a way to take my custom dictionary, etc.? Lol.

Make a backup using DM. Ask VZW to use the transfer wizard to move your data from the old to the new?

First thing is do a back up. I believe using the "switch Device Wizard" is the way to go. And to make sure you retain 3rd party apps, read this:

I have done this THREE times with VZW bc of numerous problems with the refurbs they send me. Just use the switch device wizard in desktop manager and Voila! Good as new!
