...why not just use DM and do a backup. Then just restore to the new device when you get it.

Assuming you do, that is...

You need to move the cursor down to a specific number and then display the menu. You can only copy one number over at a time, not one contact w/multiple numbers.

It's designed to sync with your PC. I'd recommend checking to see if your replacement phone can sync with Outlook rather than use the antiquated SIM phone book.
