So finally i have my Android. The first thing anyone wants to do with the new phone is to transfer contacts, messages and calender. So now the problem started for me. HTC has a app to transfer data from your old phone but it somehow didnt work for me as expected. Contacts and calender was successfully tranfered but whenever i tried to transfer messages, it used to fail without giving any reason.
I have 500 odd messages which i wanted to keep, so couldn't leave them on my old phone. The primary reason for unable to transfer messages could be the difference in way the messages r stored by symbian and android.
I googled and found many sites giving the steps to do the same (a lot of steps, do this and do that). Finally i found an easier way. So here it goes...
