Using the Nokia Ovi suite or the PC suite applications on your computer to make a backup and restore onto your new phone as everybody on the internet recommends is ineffective and does not work most of the time. This is due to the different versions the phones might come with, so the backup files won't be restorable on the phone you want to transfer to.

Easiest and simplest way is to transfer via bluetooth which is quick and efficient. Here is how to do so.

Steps

  1. 1
    Go to tools on your Nokia mobile phone (preferably the more recent model of the two) by selecting the menu.
  2. 2
    Select settings (This may be available under "Tools" or directly under "Menu").
