this is easy enough to do, if you are comfortable running commands in a terminal. i got mine working, anyway. {last week, i transferred my old n900's 7000 text messages to my n9. ive gotten only a few texts since, but all 7000 of the old ones came out alright.}

you can do it with meego-terminal on the phone, but it would be much easier to do on a faster desktop or laptop.

do you only need to do this once, or do you need to do this at intervals every so often {like, once a month}?
