The phones are a Motorola Backflip MB300 and a Samsung S20
The Backflip has Google Market which is defunct.
It does not have Google Play (stupid name)
Motoblur is gone.
Google synchronization won't log in. i'm not sure it ever worked.
The S20 has a nanoSIM, the MB300, a full size SIM. I have the adapters.
Pictures:
Probaby looks like I can migrate them with a SDXC cardreader and a filemanager over WIFI. In any event, I can put the SDxdsc card in my laptop and have access to the photos/
So plan is to format the SD card in the S20 and transfer the pics I want via some WIFI filemanager.

My contacts from Google contacts migrated to the S20, but not the other way around - nope.
I can export he contacts the SIM, but I would loose all of the extraneous info like email and notes.
Plan #1:
Export the contacts to the SIM. Backup the SIM to a handheld device that has an LCD display to display an addressbook and then put it back tot he nanoSIM with an adapter
I think this will work.
I was playing with gammu (linux version), but was unable to make a connection with USB debugging on or off. gammu supposedly can make a VCF file from the address book/
I was also playing with adb and again wasn't able to make a connection to the phone using ethernet or USB. I did not try Bluetooth. Motorola Phone Tools could use Bluetooth
This is something a carrier (AT&T) should do.
Any ideas?
