As for call history/text msg, you have to check the software libraries here. I believe there are things that work, but I don't care about either so never back them up.

Thanks for the response! I really appreciate it!
However . . .
I really don't have a need to restore back to WM5, as my contacts are safely within Outlook on my PC, and those are synchronized each time I connect the phone and run activesync. Obviously, those items aren't what I'm trying to restore.
Since I've been running Sprite backup, I have the files I wish to restore--the ones that contain the Call History and Text Messages safely in a Sprite backup.
My goal is to restore that data for my Call History and Text Messages (which, by the way, are files that are NOT synchronized via active sync, or any other app that I'm aware of--and therefore, would not then be synchronized with the new OS).
You've indicated that it can't be done, or at least, not easily; I'm pretty technical, and can read directions pretty well, so I'm not afraid of doing something hard--if there's a way, I'd be willing to do it, so long as it's not so difficult to the point where it would be ridiculous.
So, getting back to my ORIGINAL post . . . IS there a way to restore the call history and text messages from the previous OS into the new WM6 version, in such a way that it won't then crater my existing configuration?
If so, could someone please outline what steps are necessary to accomplish this?
Again, thanks!
