How can I use Kontalk on more then one device?

You have to transfer your personal key from your current device to the new one. You may read this tutorial.

Will you store any personal data on server?

Your public key is stored on our servers, which is the public part of your key (hence the name). It is used to authenticate you and encrypt messages to you. The only information stored in the public key is the name you choose at registration. You are free to type in anything you like there.
Phone numbers are not stored because we use hashes of them throughout the network.

What is the personal key?

We wrote a page explaining just that.

Is it possible to change the name I choosed on registration?

Technically it is, but is not implemented in Kontalk yet. Currently the only way of changing your name is to delete your account (Menu > Settings > Delete your account) and register again. But please remember that every new registration generates cost for the network (community) because of the SMS we must send for verification!
