New member but not to the site

Hi, I have looked for answers on the site many times, but finally decided to register so I can request help perhaps offer insight too.
I have had a Hero for some years and loved it, then had a DesireZ as a gift months ago. Getting info from one to the other has driven me bananas.
Surely when companies want us all to endlessly buy their new phones and upgrade, they should make it absolutely simple to transfer ALL information from phone to phone?
The first thing a new phone should say on opening is, this is how to transfer all the information from your last one - especially when it is a new model from the same company.
Off soapbox - I look forward to reading more tips about using my DesireZ - like how to answer a call .......... how could they make that difficult????

Transfering information from one Android device to another is actually pretty easy. IF you use Gmail as your principal email on the phone, it will manage your email, calendar, and contacts. You can use third party archival apps to transfer text messages. And music and video files can be placed on a micro SD Card and moved from one device to the other.

Martimus could you explain how to transfer my contacts and memo notes from one phone to another?
