I recently got a N6680 to replace my N6230. I'm a very heavy text messager and run out of space every 2-3 days so I make backups onto the PC. Now, on the Seris 40 phone, I'd connect the data cable, open Nokia PC Suite and simply go to File Manager > Nokia 6230 > Messages > Inbox and copy-paste all the .VMG files to a folder on my desktop.
However, now with the Series 60 N6800, when I do the same and go to > Nokia 6680, there's 3 folders, Phone Memory (C), Memory Card (E) and Contacts. I've been thru all these and can't find a Messages folder or even any of the messages. I really want to keep backups and not keep deleteing them. Anyone know of what to do, please? Any help would be appreciated.

Go to Extras->Memory. TYhen you can select "Backup Phone Memory". This would create a backup of contacts and messages in the phone memory on your memory card.

Ah yes, I'm aware of that and can do it via the PC Suite itself [Backup icon]. However, it creates a single .nfb files which I can not open on the PC to retrieve the messages as I would to individual .vmg files which I prefer. Any other ideas?
Well i m not sure about this but U can send txt 4m the phone 2 pc via ir or blue tooth what ever so 1. Copy the msg(s) n paste them in Notes using pencil button then send it over. Now i dont know with what extension it would be saved on the pc so try it out or just play with quick word hope some thin will work

Yes, I know... I've been silent to this topic
Forgotten about it when I was at home...
Well, you should be able to do it the same way on the 6680... I can do it on my 6630...
Phonebrowser -> *select the phone* -> Messages
When I'm there the program asks me to complete installion on the for a program called "smssync"... done so, now I could save my messages...
Be sure you've got the latest edition of PC Suite (6.6)
hope some thin will work
