CellStik: Saves you $15 at Verizon and relieves stress when you drop your cellphone in a lake
It is extremely annoying that Verizon charges you $15 to transfer over your phone book from handset to handset (besides the many other absurd charges and policies that they have). Now enter CellStik, we talked about them back here, but just recently had a chance to check out the actual product. The stick has a USB port on one end and a cellphone specific port at the other (I am using the one of the CSFMO1-00 Motorola versions for my E815). The backup process is rather simple: you plug one end into your cellphone wait for the green lights to turn on and press the backup arrow. Just like that all of your contacts are transferred onto the device for safekeeping. If you want an even more secure backup or the option to edit or enter more contacts into your phonebook all you need to do it plug the USB port into your PC to transfer over this file.
This is an extremely inexpensive (around $40 per stick) way to backup your lifelong list of friends and their phone numbers, as well as sticking one to Verizon when they go to charge you for the phonebook transfer.
The one catch is that if you are changing cell manufacturers you need to buy 2 sticks, but the process will still work. Now only if they had a stick with interchangeable cell ports.

Is there a cellstik for the Sanyo Katana? They all seem to be for Motorola or Samsung phones. I need one ASAP for a gift.
