getting a new phone...I need a little help

I'm getting a Cingular 8125 (I know, I know...it's old news and all that jazz, but it does everything I want it to do & I got a decent deal on it). I currently have a 2125, but I want the touch screen, etc. I'm wondering if anyone knows of the best way to transfer my contacts (somewhere around 150-200) to the new phone easily.

The only way I've found is to go into each contact & 'save to SIM', which saves each number individually. I get my new phone tomorrow, so I have a little time.

Two other questions if you just love answering them...

1) I want more memory for files, programs, music. Is the 2G miniSD from Sandisk for about $45 shipped the best way to go?

2) Is it even worth selling a used (scratched & the joystick is on the blink, but otherwise great phone) 2125?

Not sure if its worth selling your old one, but its always worth a shot. As far as the memory goes... the 2gig miniSD is the best your going to get, and it will suit you fine. I used a 512 card when I had that phone. Its been a while since I had my 8125, but I think you can sync the contacts with "active sync" (comes with the phone).

Yeah he's pretty much right.... And to be honest with you I'd rather get the 8125 than the 8525. I jus like the layout better. I say if they had it in a all black model I'd have it RIGHT NOW!! lol keep the 2125 its a nice classic, and you can use as a back up incase of anything. Active Sync would be the quickest and most organized way to transfer all contacts that include more than jus 1 number.

thanks, dude...the only thing I lack at this point is the 2G memory. I'll pick that up as soon as I get used to my phone.
