iPhone vs. saving text messages to your computer.

I've heard there are various programs that back up text messages (on the iPhone) to your computer. Any recommendations?

Thanks for the lead. I ended up getting an application called Mobile Sync Browser ( http://homepage.mac.com/vaughn/msync/ ). It's still in beta but it works well.....albeit slow.

Now if there was a way to save my voice mails without having to jailbreak my phone! LOL

I know this is an old thread, but it still comes up high in google search, so I am adding to it!

I use a tool called Decipher TextMessage to get my voicemails without jailbreaking. It only works if you have Visual Voicemail though. They also have
a tool for copying texts to your computer. http://deciphertools.com

Looks like Mobile Sync Browser is paid, any free applications?
