gmail.com) or in Exchange (speak to an IT person at your company).
2 Set up the same account on your phone (see Manage online
accounts).
3 Go to a Verizon Wireless store and ask a support agent for help in
transferring data from your old phone. When you're ready to transfer
data from your old phone, be sure to tell the agent which account to
transfer the data to.

About the Data Transfer Assistant (DTA)
The DTA enables you to do a one-time, one-way export of data from
selected desktop apps to your Pre 2 phone through the USB cable included
with your phone. After the data is on your phone, you can select the account
you want to import the data to.
IMPORTANT The DTA is not synchronization software. It is meant to be used
once per desktop app, to export your info from the desktop app to an account on
your phone.
