The OP here appears to have a GSM v3 if he has a SIM in it. Razr's are
made in several flavors to accommodate different technologies. Those
sold for GSM do indeed have a SIM. The method of copying from the SIM
to the phone book is via a menu item in the Phonebook Setup as described
in the manual. Need a manual? Download it from Motorola.com. There is
also another way. If your phone supports Syncing you can upload from the
old phone to www.zyb.com and sync to the new phone.
