Very seamless in my opinion.
Similar experience when I purchased an Android tablet to complement my existing Android phone, all apps. downloaded, even paid ones!
I have been using Titanium Back-up Pro (paid) for ~ 18 months as I flash a new ROM quite often, but this does require that the phone be rooted. The paid version allows for the batch back-up and restore of any/all apps, with or without data.
MyPhoneExplorer may also have this feature? It is also pretty handy to backing up/restoring contacts, calendars, calls, smses, synching with Outlook.
There are a number of contact back-up apps. in the market, like Super Backup:
