You can use the Switch application to copy content such as phone numbers, addresses, calendar items, and images from your previous Nokia device to your device. The type of content that can be transferred depends on the model of the device from which you want to transfer content. If that device supports synchronisation, you can also synchronise data between the devices. Your device notifies you if the other device is not compatible.
If the other device cannot be switched on without a SIM card, you can insert your SIM card in it. When your device is switched on without a SIM card, the Offline profile is automatically activated, and transfer can be done.
Content is transferred from the memory of the other device to the corresponding location in your device. The transfer time depends on the amount of data to be transferred.
Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Data transfer > Switch.
After the first transfer, select from the following to start a new transfer, depending on the model:
to synchronise content between your device and the other device, if the other device supports synchronisation. The synchronisation is two-way. If an item is deleted in one device, it is deleted in both. You cannot restore deleted items with synchronisation.
to retrieve content from the other device to your device. With retrieval, content is transferred from the other device to your device. You may be asked to keep or delete the original content in the other device, depending on the device model.

to send content from your device to your other device
If you cannot send an item, depending on the type of the other device, you can add the item to the Nokia folder, to C:\Nokia or E:\Nokia in your device. When you select the folder to transfer, the items are synchronised in the corresponding folder in the other device, and vice versa.
After a data transfer, you can save a shortcut with the transfer settings to the main view to repeat the same transfer later.
To edit the shortcut, select Options > Shortcut settings. For example, you can create or change the name of the shortcut.
A transfer log is shown after every transfer. To view the log of the last transfer, select a shortcut in the main view and Options > View log.
If an item to be transferred has been edited in both devices, the device attempts to merge the changes automatically. If this is not possible, there is a transfer conflict. Select Check one by one, Priority to this phone, or Priority to other phone to solve the conflict.
