Hey, I'm going from a Treo 800w to the Treo Pro, and I was wondering if anyone knew how I could transfer my text messages from the treo 800w to the treo pro. Thank you very much in advance.

I use PIMBackup. It's free and it has been posted here before.
It will backup your contacts, messages, tasks, appointments, and even files or entire folder if you choose, but make sure you have it save the backup to the mem card. (if not you can copy the backup file to your PC and then save it to you new phone or mem card you will use with it.

Then you just run PIMBackup on your new device and perform a restore.

800w and treo pro manage sms differently. 800w uses palm messaging. However hannip created the following http://discussion.treocentral.com/tr...-treo-pro.html

yes hannip did but if your not already using it then its pretty much worthless. cuz when you do that patch it doesnt transfer the messages to out look. like chocmatic said palm uses palms app and if im correct the pro probably uses outlook. I myself prefer the outlook sms

It's been a few months. How has the success rate been thus far?

A) SMS backup via 800w to Micro SD card.
B) Transferring SMS from 800w to (virgin) Pro
C) Installing (from Micro SD Card) the 800w SMS patch to (virgin) Pro
D) Working with MS MyPhone

After A, Which should be done first: B) or C)?

D) Of course is still under consideration.
