@colinmercer If the
messages are on the mass memory they are safe. But a simple PC
suite backup will do no harm.
The problem with restoration only comes when you try to restore
applications. My advice is, once you reflash the phone only restore
things like contacts, messages, bookmarks, calender and notes.
Specifically do not select any other option in the pc suite
menu.

Isn't there a problem with restoring from a backup when you change firmware version? Or was that only if you changed product code?

That was from changing product codes.
