After many happy years using a Palm OS PDA (an old Handspring Edge to be precise), I took the plunge this weekend and bought a Storm. Now I need to transfer data from my Palm to the Storm. I presume that I will need to purchase third-party software to assist with transferring my Palm data to Outlook and then syncing with the Storm. Any thoughts? I used all of the Palm features heavily, including memos. I am concerned about where to put all of this info - in Word documents, in Storm MemoPad? I welcome your thoughts. Thanks.

No. The Desktop Manager software which comes with your phone has a function that will automatically transfer all of that data. I used a Palm Treo since they came out and switched to Blackberry in December and will never go back. The Desktop Manager transferred everything with no problems.
