So you just bought a [Nokia Lumia 900](http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/03/nokia-lumia-900-review/) and are wondering how on Earth you'll get all your old phone's data over to that new Windows Phone. Nokia and [Mark/Space](http://www.engadget.com/tag/MarkSpace/) have you covered with a new, [Lumia](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Lumia/)-tuned Welcome Home to Windows Phone app. The Mac- and Windows-based utility goes beyond just shuffling calendars, contacts and media; if you're jumping ship from Android, a BlackBerry or an iPhone, it will scan apps linked to the outgoing hardware and offer QR codes to download either direct or close-enough equivalents for the Windows Phone world. Fresh Lumia owners might appreciate the price more than anything -- unlike the Android porting tool, the Lumia version is a free treat just for joining the Nokia flock. It's available today, but we have a feeling that most of the demand will come after [September 5th](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/nokia-microsoft-windows-phone/).
