Comparing Palm Pixi Plus and Blackberry Storm 2 is like light vs. heavy weight. It’s just not fair. 3.3 oz Palm Pixi Plus vs. BlackBerry Storm 2 with 5.5 oz. 2.6 inch screen vs. 3.25 inch screen. One thing in common is that both smart phones run on nation’s largest 3G network. If you prefer light weight entry-level smartphone, Pixi is for you. For just $39.99 $0.00, I personally will pick the Storm 2 just because it has a bigger screen.

I have a Palm Treo 680. I like the Palm line, but ATT doesn’t have Palm any longer. I will stay with ATT because I have an excellent nation wide LD coverage. Can I transfer my apps from TREO to Blackberry? Calender, contacts, pics etc?
