Ah dam! Just tried iSim and of course it crashes/wont run on 2.0. Wish I knew about this app before the pwnage. Thanks for the suggestion though.

You're going to have to enter all the information manually. You know, read the names and numbers off your old phone and input them into your new one all by yourself. (Assuming you can still access the old phone's database, of course. If you can't...I guess you'll have to spread the word around that you need people to call you so you have their numbers?)

I know, it sucks. It took me hours to get all the addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, pictures, and names into my 3G from my old phone.

On the plus side, all that practice really helps improve your accuracy with the touchpad keyboard.
