Retrieving SMS from a Razor v3c

[Aran Cox-2]

I have a Motorola Razor v3c.  It has over 1800 SMS messages on it.  I
want to save them.  (Actually I want to save a subset of them but
deleting them one at a time via the phone's interface is painful at
best.)  I've used the release version of bitpim (1.0.6) and the test
version (1.0.7.20090805) under both Windows XP and Linux.  Both
versions under both operating systems can retrieve the phone info but
the SMS copy doesn't result in any SMS messages being visible in
bitpim.  I can browse the filesystem and create a zip file of the
msging directory on the phone. I increased the timeout to the maximum
(99 seconds.)

To produce the logs I'm attaching I used the test version of bitpim. I
did a copy from phone, SMS messages, replace all.  After quite a while
(you can tell the exact timing from the log) I got a popup: "Failed to
auto-detect the port to use. I couldn't detect and candidate ports."

Has anyone pulled the SMS messages off of a very full Razor v3c?

Is there another program that could parse the files directly?

I'd happily try any suggestion to get this working or provide any more
debugging information requested.  I'll also send the protocol log if
that's of interest but it's over 300k and I hate to spam the list like
that.

Thanks in advance,
Aran

Hello,
     I Have the Samsung Glyde, Model number SCH-U940, I was wondering if
anyone is working on getting Bitpim to work with it? Or The Omnia SCH-i910?

                Thanks,
                        Richard
