there's a new app in the app world called SMS backup that i'm interested in trying/hearing about. backing up my sms is important for me and i used to just forward to email the ones i needed, but it gets tedious esp if i haven't done it in a while. i currently have the droid (but am thinking of switching back) so i have no idea how or if this app works well or not, but i wish i knew!!
BlackBerry Desktop Manager > Backup/Restore > Advanced > select SMS from the box on the right > press the << button > from the menu choose Save > done.
