It turns out that smartphone backups (Treo & iPhone, at least) don't  
necessarily make it easy to access SMS messages.

However, there's one way to do this on the fly: Google Voice. It logs  
all incoming and outgoing messages, and as a bonus, you can use the  
Web interface to type SMS's, which is easier than typing on a phone.  
There is no obvious export function, but screen scraping could do the  
trick.
