I'm still kind of a newbie to iPhone so forgive me if this is a very basic question. I am receiving my new iPhone 5 next week and want to give my wife my iPhone 4S. She currently has an older droid. How do I set up the 4S so she can have access to all of the same apps, movies, music and etc. that I have in my iTunes account but still maintain her own personal calendar, email and contact list etc.? I don't want to have to repurchase all of the apps for her phone. Anything else I should consider that I'm not thinking of? How does everyone else with more than one iPhone do this?

After the phone gets activated on her number, set it up so that iTunes & the app store use the same appleID you're using now - and set her email up as it is on her present phone on the iPhone and all will be well.

Thanks! I knew it had to be relatively simple. I guess I just couldn't convince myself that it was just that easy.
