Probably. Sometimes a duplacate of what's in the SIM.

Again probably.

Definately. Ringtones are NOT stored on the SIM.

All the above are in the phone, plus Java games, personal settings,
reminders, 'wallet' contents, email messages, 'to do' lists.

The SIM just stores your phonebook entries, and SMS messages(If saved to
the SIM).

Depends on your phone settings - you can configure them yourself to
store stuff on the SIM or phone and copy between them. The default
for all recent Nokia handsets I've come across has been to use the
phone memory, thus all your stuff will probably still be on your old
phone.

Ringtones, are being stored in the phone's memory. In most cases, SMS
messages are also being stored in the phone's memory (in latest
version). The most powerful tool for data transfer from one phone to
another one is Oxygen Phone Manager II ( http://www.opm-2.com/ ). You
can download the trial version here (
http://www.opm-2.com/download/opm2.zip/ ) to see, how it works.

When I changed phones, I used Mobius from logomanager.co.uk to make
sure all my numbers, addresses, SMS messages and stuff went to my PC
(also meant I could put my phonebook straight on when I got my new
phone).
