Finally! I managed to transfer most of the data from my old phone to the new one. :-) One of my best friends advised me not to use the Sync Suite that came with the phone but download it from their site instead. I did that and Voila! :-) I was done in flat 30 minutes.

For now, I have vowed to be more disciplined in downloading important messages regularly. I don't have any enviable record of sticking to resolutions so we will see how far this one lasts.
