Google Sync for your phone
Google Sync for your phone generally works very well and makes switching phones at the end of your contract as easy as possible.
Google Sync for your phone
http://www.google.com/mobile/sync
As with any service using push technology, Google Sync increases usage of your device's battery. On most devices, Google Sync uses the Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® protocol. When setting up a new Exchange ActiveSync account on your device, existing data may be removed from your phone (it did not in my case however). Please make sure to back up before you set up Google Sync.
Here are the instructions for Windows Mobile:

New mobile phone allows bosses to monitor staff movements and type of activity
From BBC:
"Japanese phone giant KDDI Corporation has developed technology that tracks even the tiniest movement of the user and beams the information back to HQ.
It works by analysing the movement of accelerometers, found in many handsets. Activities such as walking, climbing stairs or even cleaning can be identified. "When applied to the issue of telemedicine, or other situations in which remotely monitoring or accessing an individual's personal movements is vital to that service. But there will surely be negative consequences when applied to employee tracking or salesforce optimisation."
For example, the KDDI mobile phone strapped to a cleaning worker's waist can tell the difference between actions performed such as scrubbing, sweeping, walking an even emptying a rubbish bin.
Truck drivers are regularly monitored through mobile phones in Japan, while salespeople have been regularly tracked by their employers using GPS since it was introduced to Japanese mobiles in 2002."

Using their phones for everything but phone calls
From the WSJ:
Calling "really slows you down," says the 22-year-old physics and math major from Honolulu.
The way Mr. Robb and his friends use their phones offers a glimpse of where consumer technology is heading. Their phones are used non-stop for their social lives."
