There is an equally simple way to do it, using a software called MOBILedit.

MOBILedit! is capable of migrating data between various phones. It allows you to connect phones to PC and manage its content.

How to copy data from one phone to another:

1) Download and install MOBILedit! (http://www.mobiledit.com/downloads.htm) and also the mobile phones cable drivers pack, if necessary (also there).
2) Plug both phones to your computer and let the drivers to be installed automatically (Apart from data cable, you can use also BlueTooth or infraport).
3) Open MOBILedit! and run Connection Wizard. Both phones will be found and connected immediatelly, if everything goes well.
4) Go to Phone Copier plugin and set it up so the source phone is displayed on the left side and the destination phone on the right.
5) Choose contacts and other content to be copied.
6) Hit the big Copy button and voila!
