Hey. New board.
Jesse, if you have faith that you'll be upgrading rather than breaking for your next phone, just keep them on the phone for now. There should be a setting somewhere that lets you "copy all" to the SIM card for transferring to your next phone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
LeN, that's what I ended up doing, and stuff seems okay.
D-at least on my phone, you can't store photos (and other extended information) on the SIM so copy all isn't a complete solution.
I synch to my Mac, but I think there may be a Motorola-specific solution that involves a cable.

Oh, I know. The SIM card also doesn't let you store multiple numbers for one contact and stuff like that (it copies from the phone to the sim card as Mother1, Mother2, Mother3 and so forth) But it lets you have the pictures NOW, and then still have the phone numbers when you switch. Better than nothing.
If you can sync the phone address book to the computer somehow, that's definitely a better overall solution. 's what I do, but I know many phone users don't want to bother with that.

I thought Jesse's question was about having to redo the pictures, so the SIM card doesn't fix that effort.
Jesse, thing is, unless your next phone is a RAZR, the phone entries might not even be compatible. So the photos will probably need to be redone anyway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was actually wondering about having to redo the numbers, not the pictures. There apparently wasn't a copy-all-to-SIM feature on my old phone. Eh. I'll just do it piecemeal, I guess -- if I actually have a picture or whatever I want to put with a number, I'll put that one on the phone. It's not like I'm getting a new phone anytime soon.
The SIM card also doesn't let you store multiple numbers for one contact and stuff like that (it copies from the phone to the sim card as Mother1, Mother2, Mother3 and so forth)
I can't decide if that bugs me -- I might like labeling the work number, say.
It's hard having new things!!

For those of you with Palm OS have you tried TCPMP? It's a free open source media player that's supposed to play pretty much anything.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thanks, Tom! Hopefully that will work.
