try nokia PC suite software to back it up to pc.
but to transfer them back u will need someone to borrow you a symbian device.
as SMS , ovi suit supports n900 sms
set the n900 on PC Suite mode.

Has any one actually tried to transfer SMS from N900 backup (made by Nokia OVI Suite) to any other symbian phone.
@richwhite
I wanted to copy and printout all my 7000+ SMS
In my case I saved them in excel file and then printed them.
I can help you in saving your messages that way, but you will have to figure out how to transfer them from Excel or CSV file to SGS2.
I am moving to SGS2 soon, so I appreciate you share anything useful you may find.

The SGS2 reads XML format apparently, so if you know how to save N900 SMS to that it should work?

Can you let me know where did you find the info about SGS2 + XML?
Do you know the datastructure / XML tags used in the XML file?
Im sure u need the XML file to have specific tags to be read by SGS2

which says the converter changes Nokia SMS to XML format for Android. But based on the fact that converter didn't do anything for me i guess the N900 saves to a different format. So once my old 5800 is charged i'll try to put the N900 texts onto it and save them that way

If you have managed to create an XML file, please give me structure of XML file or just send it to me so that I cam examine it.
and try to write a program to convert SMS from N900 to SGS2 friendly XML format

I found this http://androidadvices.com/how-to-tra...ndroid-device/ guide on Nokia to Android conversion but i think it's just for Symbian as it hasn't produced any output file for me. So i figured as a number of people here have gonefrom N900 to SGS2 maybe someone could help me?
