Pearl to Bold

Hello Folks,
I currently am a proud owner of a Blackberry Pearl 8120 but I am being offered a Blackberry Bold from work which will be delivered next week. I have a two part question:

1) I currently have all my contacts on my Pearl and also a few people on my Blackberry Messenger. How do I move these over to my Bold? Do I do it with the Desktop Manager or do I login to the BIS website from my cell phone provider and change it there?
2) I plan to sell the Pearl once I have everything setup on my Bold. How do I wipe my Pearl and install the operating system from scratch? I know the OS is available on the T-Mobile website but is there anything else I need to do before or after I re-install the OS?

Thanks

Well to transfer contacts and bbm contacts use device switch on desktop manager and as for the wiping look for the prper downgrade/upgrade thread and the how to wipe thread. I'd post them but I'm in WAP. Enjoy the Bold

yup, all you gotta do is "change device wizard in DM and everything should be fine. Make sure you log into the bis site of your carrier and switch device as well

awesome, thanks guys! I will try this out when my bold gets here and see what happens.

You're welcome
