What they all said, there are usually many ways. I haven't tried a new Nokia (but since I'm about to get either the N78 or the N82, haven't decided which ... why did you pick *that* one?) I will be going through this myself in a month.
For my SonyEricsson's, I installed Outlook just long enough to sync from old phone to PC, remove old phone sync software, install new phone sync software and sync back to phone. For other recent phone, just used bluetooth or infra-red to send all contacts (as vCards I think) and they showed up in the message inbox on the other phone and when I clicked on the attached file it asked "import all contacts?" and I said yes and they all appeared (though many of the "home" numbers appeared as "business" numbers for some reason).
Yep, a quick search has someone copying their .vcf file (vCard export of contacts from their old phone) to the N82 using Nokia PC Suite.
What was your old phone and do you still have it?
Also, I copied entries from old phone memory to SIM memory (very restricted number of entries) and then moved SIM across and copied from SIM to new phone memory and that was another way of transferring data ...
