Ok I just got done with the hour drive each way to get my new Touch Pro. My other one had a seizure this morning and I couldn't deal with it anymore. My new ones build date is 1/09/09. So I got a fresh one, now, should I do a hard reset before I start adding anything to the phone? Also, how do I do that without losing my contacts if I need to?? Thanks in advance guys!

Btw the guy let me keep everything from my old device which is nice, so now I have 2 of everything, he kept going man that black back cover is awesome how do I do it, he acted like a little boy on Christmas lmao....
