Reuse memory card for old arrive in replacement arrive????

Hope someone can answer this but to keep a long story short, I lost my temper last night and the arrive took the brunt of the abuse. I have a new replacement arrive on the way but my question is this. Can i just swap out the memory cards from old arrive to new arrive and have everything (i.e. text messages, emails, settings, apps) ready to go like nothing had happened??

Thank you.

Unfortunatly not as far as i understand it. The memory card inside the arrive is run in a raid 0 type thing with the onboard memory so if you remove the card and replace it, it would be just like doing a hard reset on your phone it will be reset to the way it was when you got it out of the box.

I could be wrong but that's the way i understand it from read all the upgrading threads to 32GB chip.

twiztid420 is right... it will force the equivalent of a hard reset if you try.

I'm actually facing a similar issue moving to my Titan this weekend... I don't want to lose my text messages, but Microsoft offers no means of backing them up or moving them to the new phone.

Obviously, you can sync everything via Zune or SkyDrive, but text messages you can kiss goodbye.
