Messages disappearing on N80

Guess my battery had died.I recharged my phone, switched it on back again only to find all my messages gone.They just seem to have disappeared. The INBOX, SENT , MY FOLDERS, everything shows empty. I  switched it back off and on again but the messages are GONE. Fortunately,the contacts saved in the phone are still there ONLY the messages have been gone and I don't know where.

Could somebody help me with this?

Re: Messages disappearing on N80

This seems to be a common issue with the S60 mobile operating system.  No comment from Nokia regarding a resolution so far.

 

My E75 phone has also experienced the disappearing-messages-act saved in my SD card when my phone restarted from a low battery shut down.  Inbox/Draft/Sent Items were completely wiped out.

 

I tried to change the SMS location from SD Card to Phone Memory then back to SD Card again.

I also tried to (safely & properly) remove the SD Card then reinserted it back.  Still no go.

 

The worst part is that I spent 3 days searching the Internet and found that it's not rare for this problem to occur on an S60 platform yet no resolution from the web nor does Nokia offer any solution to it's customers.

 

They're about to lose a 12 year loyal and solid Nokia Fan (along with his friends and relatives to migrate to the Blackberry & iPhone Bandwagon) soon if they can't help us retrieve the important messages that was wiped out from our inbox. <sigh>..
