Please suggest a basic handset with SMS backup feature

[ruchirrathore 0]

Hi, I am using a Lenovo A600E and ZTE C600 handset on Reliance CDMA 1x network. The SIM card I am using is a standard Reliance CDMA SIM card, which works on ZTE phone, but partially works on Lenovo phone. The main problem I am facing is that Lenovo handset doesn't read SMS stored on SIM card.

I have contacted reliance tech support, lenovo tech suport, and ZTE tech support, but all of them seem to be clueless about this issue. I feel it may be because of Lenovo not fully supporting CDMA 1x sim card. Lenovo probably needs OMH handset to read sms from sim card.

I have about about 100 SMS stored on ZTE phone, which I need to transfer on Lenovo handset. I have tried to copy SMS from ZTE phone onto SIM card, but lenovo set can't read them. I also can't route those SMS thru' another number back to my handset, as this way I will loose the SMS headers too (incoming timestamp of network).

So, I am looking for a CDMA (or preferably CDMA+GSM dual sim handset, if possible) which is capable of reading SMS from Sim card, and then copy them onto external memory card, or using a PC software, onto PC for backup.

Budget is not a problem, I am only searching a right handset which can solve this problem. Please feel free to suggest any handset, if you are aware of any such set.
