Default BerryMover - I need to transfer data

Hi,

I am getting myself a iPhone 4S very soon and I need to transfer all my data from my Bold 9700 to the iPhone 4S. I was wondering if anyone has tried BerryMover, I couldn't find any reviews online so I'm not sure if it works properly and worth the 10$ price tag.

Also, text messages/SMS are my top priority, the other data are less important.

Thank you for reading.

Hi,

I'm Tim Goggin. I own PocketMac, the folks who produce BerryMover. It definitely works and you can email me personally if you need help.

I think everything syncs through the OS if you set it up as an exchange email, so gsync isn't needed. I'm getting a 4S in another week, so I'm curious about this as well.

That would be great. I loved on my Android that contact and calendar sync was just built in and automatic. Same with Google Voice contacts.

Set up your gmail account through exchange and you will be all set.

I'm getting ready to do this myself with iPad.
I've read many threads/post:
First you must enable exchange on your account on the Google web site.
Then you set up the email account on the device as an exchange instead of gmail.
That's my understanding and will attempt to do it this weekend.
If this doesn't sound right, someone please chime in.

Good Luck

Well I think iTunes only backups texts from an iPhone and when you restore, it can restore the texts because it was backed up from an iPhone. But I'm backing up from a Blackberry so that's why I have trouble restoring my texts.
