Expect it not to transfer. That way if it does (divine intervention), you will be very pleasantly surprised.
Better than expecting it to transfer, and being disappointed when it doesn’t.
Whats the new smartphone?

Depends on whether new phone accepts the older (almost certainly larger) SIM card.

Microsoft still have the download for windows on their site so in theory you should be able to connect your new smartphone and access the data via cable or Bluetooth.
Chopping it down too the mini version is quite easy but the nano size might be a bit tricky. Most mobile phone shops/network providers have a special clipper you can use.

Used to work in a mobile testing establishment, the purchase of a punch, or a loan if you're lucky, could save tears.

Can you sync the old phones address book with your PCs address book? That's the way I still have numbers on my Android that I originally entered into my SE flip phone.

They award medals for that sort of bravery.
I went old Nokia to iPhone
I could not move the numbers
So I spent several long evenings doing a copy/paste job
On the Nokia I had all my contacts in groups: Family, Work, Club, Trades, etc.
The iPhone does not have that feature
So there is no way to hit say the group 'family' with a single message
The end result is I have had to move all the Club information to a professional (and much better) database, however it costs me £1 a week, plus 5p a text, to do the same job

If you have the data in Nokia PC Suite, then you can just import the contacts into your chosen email/contact manager in your PC, which can sync down with your account to your new phone. Don’t go messing around with a SIM card that may or may not have anything on it.
