I did some searching for you, and found this thread:

Looks like there is a program called SMS Backup. You could also use PPCPImbackup which I know is free, instructions are in the thread.

PowerSMS is the program I would use to do that, its maybe $10-$20, can't remember, but it exports them to CSV format which is easily read in tons of programs like Excel.

Not invite only. You just have to go on a waiting list. It's pretty quick though, considering how popular it's becoming. Usually less then a couple days, but could be a couple hours.

My syncmate also does it. I think that's mac only though.

I know and love PPCPImBackup, while I have used it to pull small amounts of data I couldn't get anything large scale.

http://www.smsexport.com/ from that thread looks to be exactly what I was looking for... I'm going to give it a shot and I'll be back later.

Works as advertised, its too bad it doesn't play nice with Excel.
