Basically all previous phone settings and data will be transfered to the new device in one go.

If you switch from a Palm device or a Windows Mobile powered device to a BlackBerry device, the device switch wizard is will import the organizer data from the current supported device to the new BlackBerry device.

Follow below Steps;

1. Connect your current device and the new device to your computer e.g. via USB cable
2. Open the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager, check the devices are all detected correctly
3. Click Device Switch Wizard
4. Select the correct switch (either the left or the right option) Click Start
5. Select the From and To device and their pin
6. Start transferring (take a minute or longer depends on your data size)

That's it.
