That's not correct for the 8800 - An activation will NOT wipe the 8800. You'll need to manually wipe it first, then activate.
You are correct with your assumptions about the new bold - everything should carry over with the activation.

I would like to be able to hand the VP a new BOLD with some of their old setup intact - like having their password carry over and any BIS setup carryover to the new BOLD from old 8800. Is it possible? I think I'd have to use the first option I stated below for this to happen for the BOLD. For the 8800, a new user would be activated. So, I get the fact I wouldn't have to wipe it - an activation would take care of it.

Once you activate the new one with the carrier its as good as gone as far as bes is concerned.
