The easiest way to move 3rd party apps is to use the Desktop Manager's Switch Device Wizard. I had to do this recently and was amazed by how well the Wizard handled the job. It did the backup, the transfer of the OS, the transfer of the apps and then the transfer of the data. It got about 50% of the registration keys. I run over 20 3rd party apps so this was a real time-saver. Make sure that you both backup and synchronize the BB before using the wizard. Be aware that it took me a very long time, well over an hour. it doesn't matter if the phones are the same model. 73
