    I'm looking for some software for my P900 that'll let me backup the contents of my SMS inbox to my laptop. I used to do this with my 6310i via the phone editor and save each message as a text file. I'm looking to do the exact same thing with the p900. I've searched around a few sites and come up with practically nothing so if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

    Ohh and if this software is free, all the better :D

    There is an application from S&W for the P800 that would probably work on the P900. It enables you to export SMSs in XML format to your PC to view them. It's not free---it costs around €18---but there is a free trial available.

    I can view SMSs as text files using FileMan and send them as emails, by IR, or by BT, so that might meet your needs. FileMan costs a bit over €5 (or is free if you already own Tracker). I haven't tried File Manager, but it seems to be fairly similar to FileMan and is free. As with the S&W application, I'm not sure if these programs work on the P900, but I think that they do.

    By the way, my-symbian.com is an excellent source of applications for the P900.

    yeah - floats was developed for "regular" (non Symbian) Sony Ericsson handsets, have to watch for that, even with some of SE's accessories (that either won't work or only partially work), the Symbian OS is very different from the Ericsson based one running on their "regular" handsets - it would need extra dev to support Symbian also

    UIQ 2.0 (P800) and UIQ 2.1 (P900) are 'binary compatible' so their intention is apps that work on the P800 can also work on the P900, you just have to watch for any developers that may take advantage of the new APIs (or hardware) for the P900 but those apps should be easily identified (as made for the P900)
