    What's the best way to get all my data from my old N95 to my new N97?

    I'm trying to use the Switch App (via Bluetooth) that comes pre loaded on both phones but so far I have only gotten it to transfer the Calendar data.

    You could try transferring the data through your computer. Nokia have a program called Nokia PC Suite. Normally get it on a cd with the phone, but i think u can get it on their website.

    In the image folder, you can select 'mark all' videos and images and then select send by bluetooth. You dont have to send one at a time.

    I think if you send by bluetooth you will need to transfer to a location one by one. I used PC in data transfer mode over the weekend as I was transferring about 6GB. Takes an age but it's a copy and paste with explorer.

    I was able to transfer all the videos and music via my PC and data transfer mode. I could transfer most of the other stuff via bluetooth.

    The only thing I haven't transfered now is text messages. It won't work via bluetooth (maybe because there are two many). Is there any other way to do this?

    ahh yeah, i figured it was something to do with the images and video being on the images and video being on the memory card and trying to transfer to the internal memory on the n97 so i just put the memory card into the n97 itself
