Make new phone think it is my old phone?

[alanhatcher]

I got a smokin' deal on two used 6700's earlier this year thinking "Hey, ya never know...I might break one." Well guess what?

Just like bread always lands butter-side down, a tree branch wrenched open my hard case and the 6700 went flying, landing face down on the edge of a pointy rock. Phone still works, screen is toast.

Rather than swapping screens, can I swap some guts (memory?) and make the new phone appear to be the old phone? Like, I know I could transfer a hard drive out of a fried computer into a 2nd, identical computer and it would still look and act the same (same windows desktop etc.).

I just want the simplest way to get my phone back just like it was: contacts, screen settings, game high scores...everything. I don't think Active Sync is the answer, but maybe I'm wrong. The 6700 I've been using is a bit worse for wear on the outside (besides the screen); this is why I'd rather switch over to the back up phone (and be a lot more careful with it in the future), rather than putting a new(er) screen on the more used phone.

BTW I tried searching for this with no luck. I didn't really know what key words to search for.
