If you want to upgrade to WM6.1, then use the Kitchen to do so.
See my post immediately above yours.

Can I go from 6.0 kitchen to 6.1 without a full wipe? Is there some type of upgrade method? I finally got my 6700 working nice and smooth the way I like it and would rather not have to go through all the reconfig again.

If that isn't possible, is there a way for me to save my call history and texts?

No you cannot go from 6.0 to 6.1 without hard reseting your phone which will delete all your contacts, emails, text, mms, etc. A hard reset resets your phone wiping all data stored. So basically you need to download the new kitchen then run a backup program for your info then cook a ROM from the 6.1 kitchen. You will then have to reinstall any programs you had installed post flash (from 6.0)and reconfigure your settings. If you are just wanting the threaded text I believe there is a cab install for it floating around.
If you have the program PIM Backup installed from the 6.0 Kitchen you can use it to backup your call history and ext messages. Unfortunatly the text backup has flaws so It may not work exatcly as you want it to because you will be moving to threaded text. I always delete my text when I upgrade so I am not sure how it will react. I hope that is a better answer than YES.

Yeah, I was not really in any condition to search at the moment as my mental ability was slowed for some off topic reason. Thanks to those that helped.

LOL. You can use something like PIMBackup to save call history, speed dials (this never works for me) & text messages. Then restore after the upgrade.
Contacts & calendar should be synced and then restored when you sync the upgraded device.

You might be able to restore a "loved" config by doing a selective backup/restore with a backup program like Sprite Backup. But I've always ended up reinstalling everything manually and then restoring individual programs from their own backups. Somehow the full restores never seems quite right.

Dang, I didn't type as fast as Ga. Medic!

A full restore will rarely work right when moving from one version of windows mobile to the next. Consider yourself lucky if even a partial backup works. As with a PC, your best bet is to reinstall everything when migrating between OS versions.
