The Verge says SMS backup is here

[Neo Nuke]

SMS backup seems to be here, courtesy of The Verge. It appears to use hotmail/outlook or XBox to sync and most feel that it is from Microsoft seeing our requests in the feedback section of official WP Team Blog and the post from the guys here at WPCentral asking us for user features. I'm very excited about this and look forward to getting a WP8 phone ASAP! Hopefully this gets included in WP 7.8 to get us moved to WP8 seamlessly.

Good, I had lost all my messages via constant rebooting of my dying phones.

Should link the source, here it is:

Windows Phone 8 backup includes SMS sync to Hotmail and Outlook.com | The Verge

I don't know whether Tom skipped over it or doesn't have solid information on the feature, but this seems like a far bigger deal to me:

App lists and individual app settings will also be synced as part of a backup routine.

Easy there fella, you could had just told me to change it (which I did). Not need to insult me on PM and call the mods on me. I complain a lot but I don't insult.
