Highlight the contacts from the mobile phone memory and click on the arrow pointing in the direction of the PC Contacts. After a few seconds you should see these same contact names in red under PC Contacts.

Click on Apply Changes to save these new contacts to your PC. The "disk icon located under the transfer arrows. Close the Phonebook Manager, close Motorola Phone Tools and disconnected your old phone. Reopen Motorola Phone Tools and when prompted with the User Profile dialog, select New, type in a profile name for your new phone and click on OK. Select USB, or your method of connection, from the list of connection options and click next. Make sure your new phone is turned on and then connect it to your PC.
