Hi,

I've had a Tour since the first day they came out, but had poor battery life from the start. Verizon is sending me a new device this week. When that arives, should I just do a restore to the new device, or should I do switch device wizard? Will both restore 3rd party apps? If I use switch device wizard, do I start the process before I activate the new phone? Thanks for any advice!

to restore 3rd party apps you must use device switch wizard.
so use that.
