Answer 1

Hello!

I JUST figured out how to do this and just completed the transfer of my old phone to my new G3.  I got my G3 today. When I got home, I synched my new G3 to my itunes account. When connected to itunes it asked "an iphone had previously been synced with this account. Do you want to sync from previous back up or set up as a new phone?"   Now, I could be wrong on the EXACT wording of that, BUT, I clicked "sync from last backup" which was the last time I backed up my original iphone on July 14, 2008.  When the sync was complete, my NEW G3 was showing ALL THE TEXT MESSAGES I had in my phone on July 14th!   I had newer text messages on my old iphone that didn't come over because I did not sync the old phone immediately before syncing the new G3.  

I corrected this by plugging my new G3 back into itunes and clicking "restore factory settings".  This basically wiped my new phone clean so I could start over.  I then went back and synced my OLD iphone one last time to get the most recent info from the phone saved in my itunes.  When that was complete, I plugged in my new G3 and synced it one more time by selecting "sync from last back up".  This final sync moved all my current text messages from my old phone to my new G3.   Hope this makes sense to you! Good Luck!
