Transfer content
You can use the Switch application to copy content
such as phone numbers, addresses, calendar items,
and images from your previous Nokia device to your
Nokia N96.
The type of content that can be transferred depends
on the model of the device from which you want to
transfer content. If that device supports
synchronisation, you can also synchronise data
between the devices. Your Nokia N96 notifies you if
the other device is not compatible.
If the other device cannot be switched on without
a SIM card, you can insert your SIM card in it. When
your Nokia N96 is switched on without a SIM card,
the Offline profile is automatically activated, and
transfer can be done.

data to be transferred.
