Upgrading from the HTC Touch Pro 2 to a HTC Aarive – Need HELP!!!

Nope the files will not travel to the arrive via ActiveSync when using a USB cable. They will be transferred through Zune and only Zune syncs music ,videos and pictures (in the my music,my videos, and my pictures folders respectively and whatever other folders u set Zune to look for.) the SD Card u have in the tp2 is not transferable to the arrive without opening it up and doing a potential warranty voiding operation and when u do that it will get wiped clean. If u have any office documents or PDF files on there u can upload them to SkyDrive and then they will be accessible on the arrive in the office hub.

I wouldn't say it sucks, it's probably the best phone I've owned on sprint but the sprint network crippled my experience with it. There is no way to access the files on that sd card if u put it into the arrive because it will get reformatted. The best thing u can do is if u have any office files, pictures and such u can upload them to SkyDrive and then they will be accessible from the arrive . Pictures,music and videos will sync through Zune onto the arrive while for office and .pdf files u have to upload them to SkyDrive.

I dont mind if the card gets formatted once i put it in the phone. But once its in the phone i need to be able to copy/move files from the phone to my PC. I dont just use the phone for pics/music/videos. I keep a ton of exe, zip, rar, bat files and many other formants on my SD card. I use those files on other PC's all the time. Thats what i need to figure out. Can i create a filter called other in Zune and let it copy things back and forth that way? if so then it wil be just like active sync and it works for me. also can i setup a hotmail account and copy my current contacts to it now? if so then what do i need to do? I also have a folder on my SDd card now with caller ID pics. but i can use zune for that and just create a folder called caller ID pics then sync it.
