You need one of the geniouses to answer that one, I'm less than a year into BB world and still learning about how things work.
I back my Tour up daily with DM, I'm hoping that that will be the way to salvation...
I'm going to be trying to get a Bold shortly after they come out even though I am not even to the 1 yr mark on my 2 yr contract, I got my Tour (1st BB) in October of last year. I'm hoping that the resourceful manager, I've dealt with him almost exclusively since I switched to VZW about 10 years ago, can figure a way for me to get one. I'm sure where there is a will there is a way.

you can transfer everything by using DM, yes.
I'm not sure about your bbm contacts, however. I would use remote backup for those to be safe and back them up to am email address. Other than that...you should be good to go.
Now, having said that, realize that some apps will NOT work on the BOLD if they worked on your other phone. After you transfer them over and reboot your phone, you are going to get error messages. That means you are going to have to delete the program and go find it again and UPGRADE/and/or/download the app appropriate for the bold onto your phone. At least this is what I believe will happen.
Someone with more experience may want to chime in and correct me so I am not giving you incorrect information. I am not trying to make you panic. DON'T PANIC. But you might want to reinstall your programs one at a time again based on the new phone; this is what I was asking a few posts up.
Why load up the phone with a bunch of software that is going to error out on reboot and then have to be deleted anyway> Why not go one at a time and install the proper version? I dunno. Am I crazy for saying this? Maybe I'm too type A... (I know most of you reading will agree I AM!!!!!!)
hey, love you all like my family! Oh and by the way:
only 11 and 1/2 hours to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!06-02-10 11:25 AM - I would think that it depends on the phone and OS level that you are comimg from, in my case I will be migrating from a Tour with OS 5.0 which should be very similar hardware to the Bold. I'm thinking that what works on the Tour should work on the Bold; however, there I go thinking again and it usually gets me in trouble every time I do that.supermanoh

10 Hours and 55 minutes.....06-02-10 12:04 PM - Thanks! I appreciate the response. I'm not worried about the apps. Coming from the 8830 I only had around 9mb memory every reboot and it would leak down to 2mb in a few hours so in short, I didn't have many apps installed anyway lol. I was really only worried about my notes and contacts etc but you answered that so thanks againsupermanoh
