Coming to the point; I am looking for a good paid/free (preferably) Backup app (on phone)/ SW on Win7 for backing up my contacts and SMSes.

Having used a Nokia N85, C7 and BB 9870, I was used to the accompanied Nokia OVi and BB backup softwares which simplified the job for me. I have however realised that Android doesn't come with such a SW and am completely dependent on 3rd party SWs for the same. There are a lot of choices on the market but I want to know which one is reliable and in use mostly by many on the TDF.

Let in your opinions and suggestions.

P.S.: Accompanied SEUS from Sony Erricson failed on many attempts to backup the phone and doesn't offer SMS backup at all.

For storing contacts I chose "phone" as the option among "google" & "SE account"
