I've hacked an old smsexporter program to work with newer rtcom-eventlogger DB format (used on recent versions of N900 FW) and output CSV format which can be imported in Jolla.

So, you can export SMS messages from your N900 by using:

Code:

n900export <filename>

e.g.:

Code:

$ ./n900export sms_backup.csv

(it must be run as normal user, not as root)

and then use generated file with Merlin's jollaImport to import SMS messages to your Jolla.

Please note I'm not a C programmer and this is just a quitck&dirty hack. So please check the generated file whether the format looks okay and backup Jolla's history DB before importing.

But it worked fine for me, I've transfered about 2000 of SMS messages without problem.
