    No I don't think so,once you connect the phone pc suite would display all the messages that are in the phone.when you erase from phone you cannot get back those messages to phone.

    I am very very very sorry, but hopping to save some further possible victims I think I MUST say this.

    After updating phone sw (firmware) for my C902 through the PC SUITE, I lost a huge number of information - SMS messages and most of phone settings!!!!!!!!

    Therefore, I've experienced in a paintful way that the PC SUITE is an incredible piece of shit! Sorry, just that! I use plenty of freeware software dowloaded from web, sometimes produced even by amateurs, but I cannot remember such a negligence and indolence about user's data as from PC SUITE! That's why I didn't expected these consequences upon a regularely and successfully executed firmware update. The top surprise was my discovery that procedure simply removed my SMS messages, but didn't offer any way to restore them back! Chears!

    So I am going immediatelly to escape on whatever else piece of software for backup/restore of phone data, but PC SUITE ... No thanks. NEVER AGAIN!

    Now this is plain weird. I also backed up, then updated phone sw (firmware) and restored for my C902 with PC Suite and now I do have the (backed up) SMS messages in that indicated folder on my PC and they do appear in PC Suite, BUT only so when the phone is connected. Good news? NO! The messages do not appear anymore on my phone(!) where I want them obviously, connected or not ... Anybody an idea?

    Totally agree with some of the comments regards to backing up the phone. I had loads of sacred text messages from years back when my baby daughter was born (even!) and thought sony ericsson would be professional enough to have a backup procedure that is complete! The most vital backup items surely include text messages yet they are not included in a backup! Piece of s"!t! So i did a backup then was warned to update firmware and boom goes all my texts! No way of restoring.

    Be warned... Don't use Sony Ericsson PC Suite... In-fact, don't use them full stop and get yourself a decent phone.

    Yeah, thread is old.. so i will hijack this thread, sorry:)

    C:\Users\All Users\Sony Ericsson\Sony Ericsson PC Suite\
    C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Sony Ericsson\Sony Ericsson PC Suite\


    Does anyone know how to move these locations to, lets say Y:\Sony PC Suite
    Ive looked in registry, but no go.. is it hard coded?

    does anyone know a reg\.ini\ hack or maybe a binary mod or someething?


    Thanks
