ok when i type chmod +x smsimporter in X, it gives no such directory or file exists... however this works "cp MyDocs/smsimporter MyDocs/sms.csv" before chmod command

what is the problem here?

You missed period "." at the end of cp command:
cp MyDocs/smsimporter MyDocs/sms.csv .

1. download smsimporter-bin.tar.gz from attachment and unpack it on your PC
2. connect your N900 using USB cable in "Mass storage mode"
3. copy extracted smsimporter and your sms messages directly to device
4. disconnect USB cable
5. open X terminal
6. enter these commands:
cd /home/user
cp MyDocs/smsimporter MyDocs/sms.csv .
chmod +x smsimporter
run-standalone.sh ./smsimporter sms.csv
Please make backup of your messages in N900 before importing your old SMS messages.

thanks a lot!!!

just few questions...

I copied from the PC to .documents the two files (smsimporter and sms.csv
but in x termina I cant use the command
cp MyDocs/smsimporter MyDocs/sms.csv .
and then the
run-standalone.sh ./smsimporter sms.csv
I can only use the
chmod +x smsimporter
but only if i go to
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents

This is a great utility & really should be basic functionality supported by some nokia software.
I have limited technical experience but I will try it.
A GUI would be great. Where do we vote?
