Root Any tricks to restore/ sync messages to new handset?

[boardtc]

Forgive me if this is an faq and please point me to the relevant place. I have a replacement legend and was gutted to find via a vodafone forum that the micro card is encrypted and I can't restore all my messages to my new handset.

I still have the old handset for a few days. I resync my apps via appbrain but want to get my messages. Is there any other way do do it?

Use SMSBackupAndRestore in the market for free. Backup all old messages to SD card and when you get your new phone, install back&restore from the market again and press restore messages. It will ask you which file to restore from, select the file you made previously.

Just what I was looking for, thanks. But I had to send the old handset back to insurance company already :-(
