Got a new Nok? The first temptation is to dive in straight away and start playing with all the shiny new features on offer. But at some point you’re going to need to copy across all your existing data from the old model, which is where an indispensable guide to making sure you’ve transferred everything over comes in handy.

The thought of spending a few hours transferring over all your old information might be about as appealing being Amy Winehouse’s minder on a night out. However if you follow the simple guide put together by Symbian Guru you can at least ensure nothing gets left behind, which is more than can be said for Amy Winehouse’s dignity after a night on the tiles.

The instructions cover everything from your basic things like contacts, calendar and bookmarks to more obscure data like your Sports Tracker results or T9 learned dictionary.

Of course, once you’ve got everything copied over - don’t forget to recycle your old handset, instead of just chucking it in a draw and forgetting about it.
