Hey all,

I have a HTC Tytn II mobile phone running Windows Mobile 6 and was wondering if anyone knows of any software that would allow me to save the SMS messages off of it onto my OQO?

Thanks in advance.

I use Dekart SIM Manager v2.2 in a Dekart SIM Card reader.

Hey Rog,

Thanks for that. I've been checking out the page and it looks great, but I'm a bit confused, does it actually store the SMS messages to the computer? Also, do I need to remove the SIM card and place it in the USB reader for it to work?

Thanks again.

Yes - because it saves the SIM data.
Yes - you need to remove the SIM to read it.
Of course you have to cut/paste to store info how you want it.

Hi Stu, the HTC TyTN II saves SMS to the phone's memory by default, not the SIM card (unlike some other phones I know). There might be a setting to configure saving SMS to SIM but even then, Roger's method would require you to physically remove the SIM card for each transfer.

Here are some (non-SIM removal) options I'm aware of, although I've personally not have the need to tried any.

Hey Bungee,

Thanks for the links. I'm very interested in that SMS Bee, however, I tried installing it on my Tytn II and it says 'Intallation was unsuccessful'. It has been doing this with whatever apps I try to install lately - i.e. Google Maps, Yahoo Go, etc. Do you know what it could be and what I can do to fix it? I never had this problem before until I tried installing Google's Android on the SD card.

Thanks again,
Stu

Well, I think you managed to mess something up on your WM6 phone with Android. I'd suggest a factory hard-rest. Since the TyTN II uses non-volatile Ram, you'd need to initiate it using Clear Storage (under settings). Remember to back up/sync your data first. Cheers.

Thanks for that - I'll give it a try.
