I swap between phones a lot and it gets old having to go in and set up the phone each time with all my settings and apps. Is there a easy solution to this?

Not that I'm aware of. You can save the settings on many apps to the SD card, then import those settings.

you can also back up and restore from your google account, but that's up to the app developers to implement in their individual apps. some do, many don't. wifi passwords will get backed up though.

titanium backup is the way to go. get the pro version for batch restores, well worth it.

also if you root/install clockwork recovery, a nandroid backup will give you a full system image that you can restore from.

Your new phone has all the same stuff as the old one? I dont bother upgrading unless I get a huge boost in processing power and a much better OS. Most of my old settings wouldnt even apply.
And your installed apps can be controlled through the website. on wifi its not such a hassle to download everything again.

And all the important info like email and stuff is connected to your Gmail account anyway.
