So i have a mogul, but i just got my new touch pro in yesterday. I am a text message fanatic and i want to keep all my messages. Is there any way to transfer all my messages to my new phone? Thanks for the help.

You could d/l PimBackup and select only messages on the option, I used PimBackup to xfer my contacts my old phone to my new phone.

It is also just a great program to have for contact/text..etc...backup.

The 3rd.....you got me as I was typing...LOL.

If that does not work for you, you could try SPB Backup. Works great for me.

Try Dashwire website. I'll copy your call history, photos and such. Pretty neat site.

Oooh, I tried dashwire...not sure what went wrong but every time I updated a contacts info...it duplicated it. Cause me major stress. I prefer PPC PimBackup. Thats a great program. I also have and use Sprite and Spb Backup. In the past, theyve both worked well for me but now Im not so sure about Sprite anymore. I just used Sprite to backup my pim from my Mogul and then restore to my Pro. It seemed to work fine antil I noticed some weird things start to happen. (See the thread I started a few minutes ago about the issues with my backup & restore.)

I also use the latest sprite software for device backup. I have never bothered to attempt to restore to another device tho. About the Dashwire, I know what went wrong. There flashes a very quick popup screen that asks if you want to delete or merge the contacts. IMHO, too small to really draw attention to it and too easy just to accept defaults (which you end up getting duplicates)

Fortunately, all my contacts, calendar, to do and mail is on my exchange server and when I setup a new device, and do the first "sync", life is all back to normal for me.
