That really depends on what store you go to. Some stores will do it for free, some may charge you, and others may not offer to do it at all.

that should be no problem at the store. I've had my phone book transferred between different brands at the store without a problem. I had my phone book transferred from an LG to a Samsung and from a Motorola Q to a BlackBerry. So it's just whether the store has the software available.

Regarding the possible fees, from what I can tell, if you're upgrading at a store, the reps sometimes offer to do it for free although they don't have to do it. Also, the op could download Back up software onto the V3c and when he gets the W385, just put it on there and the contacts download automatically. This is free if he has online access to his account.

Got My new phone today. I got the new Motorola W755 instead of th W385. The person at Verizon was able to transfer my numbers AND my photos in to the new phone as well.

Dito here. Must be new. But TBH it's something they should have done a while ago. I mean I have no clue how they do it, but it can't be that hard to do it for both pics and ringtones.

But back when I went from Alltel to vzw they weren't able to transfer my pics from my Audiovox 8910 to my v3m.

The new Cellbrite machines can transfer pictures, ringtones, and other data. It is dependent on the phones, however, if it works or not. Another option the machine will do is back up to a USB thumb drive. I don't know if anyone is offering it as a service, but the machines will do it. They cost about a grand, but most corporate stores either have them or will be getting them.
