Replacement Phone / Activesync Question

[buckyswider]

Hi all, due to an unfortunate incident involving my XV6800 and a bathtub, I have to set up a new unit (TG for insurance!)

I powered up the new unit, entered the owner info (same as the prior one) and hooked up to Activesync. However, it seems like Activesync thinks this is a different phone and wants to set everything up some scratch.

How to I tell it (either activesync or the phone) that "Yo, this is a replacement phone....pretend it's the other phone, and set it up as such"??

Thanks....

p.s. Verizon, still on stock ROM....I think I'll wait until the June 1 official Sprint ROM comes out and it gets evaluated and included by our ROM gurus before re-flashing....
