Thinking of getting an iphone....
But I don't want to lose all of my SMS messages that I have on my N900.

Just wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to transfer all of your messages over to a new phone?

Sorry wouldn't know, those of use evolved enough to use an evolving OS don't have to worry about things like this ;)

Yeah I think so. Not sure how yet though. I could either sell it to a friend or trade it in and get money off of iphone.

Depends on the sort of user you are. My dad has an iPhone4. I have a Nexus One. I have thoroughly played with both. I find the iPhone to be very limiting in terms of customisation and capability. It is nice and clean. Very good for Dads and girls who haven't may not need or want to do anything technically challenging with it. Or you are already heavily invested into Apple products.

Also strangely a large amount of paid apps are free to Android.

I want something which can do some technical things, but I also want more of a toy than the phone I have.

who cares how 'technically challenging it is? it is only a fucking phone!

when someone gets an iphone i very much doubt they will ever have another brand of phone again. it is better than anything else out there by a country mile and anyone who says different either can't afford one or they are being stubborn and awkward because it is not cool to own/like an apple product.

But it isn't better. Its the same. Just different. This arguement is getting as dull as vinyl vs CDJs ffs.

iphone 5 will be coming out in may/june if you can wait that long, or the the white 4 will be along shortly if you want one of those sooner.

i may be wrong, but I think you can copy your sms backlog to your sim and transfer them that way... although you might find your sim doesnt fit, so you cant :)

As for the Andriod/Blackberry/iPhone argumen, my opinion is thist:
iPhone is good to go out of the box, but not very customisable, so not good for geek-types that want to spend a lot fo time making their phone something unique. (fyi I am a gadget fiend and consider myself to be a bit of a geek, but I don't feel any need whatsoever to jailbreak the iphone - i tried it once but found absolutely nothing worth risking it for so reverted back within a week).
Andriod phones are often technically superior to iphones, but they aren't as user friendly out of the box (they need massaging to get what you want out of them). Best for people who want to spend time making it do exactly what they want.
Blackberry is best fro emails. nothing much else.

Backem up to your PC... do you really need to keep them all on the phone? I find eventually it slows the phone down to a crawl if you keep enough.

That's true for all apple products though.

Well not all of them, but some peoples' conversations I don't want to start all over again. Only about 3-4.
