iPhone to iPhone contacts transfer...

I have received a new iPhone for work which is already synched with my work contacts, mail etc. I am trying to figure out the best way to add my contacts from my old iPhone to the new iPhone without overriding the new information. Is there a way to transfer my old iPhone information to my current Outlook and then synch to new phone or what would the pros suggest? 🙂

I'd love to be able to transfer all my information, photos, etc but contacts are the thing I am most concerned about.

If it makes a difference the new phone is on AT&T service and the old phone was on Verizon. Thanks!

Since end of 2012, Google has ended support for the Exchange protocol, so you would not be able to sync your iPhone contacts with your Gmail account via Exchange. try this:
1. Download and install "CopyTrans Contacts" to your PC: http://www.copytrans.net/copytranscontacts.php
2. Run the tool and connect your iPhone. Your iPhone contacts will begin to populate and display on your computer screen, Click on the “Export selected” and choose “Gmail” format, select the location on your PC where you want to save the contacts. Your iPhone contacts will be saved as a single vCard file
3. Now, go ahead and login to your Gmail account. Navigate to Gmail > Contacts, click on More > Import
4. Click on “Browse…” and Navigate to the location where you saved the contacts file, click “Import”. Now Your iPhone contacts have now been transferred to your Gmail
