With my phone it does not work.  I did as you said:

 Phone -> Connect -> Retrieve -> Messages

, but for ten minutes nothing happened.  Then `Backup -> Save messages'
produced an empty file.  Meanwhile wammu would respond to other commands.
When I tried to retrieve contacts, I got error message:

Error while communicating with phone

Description: Unknown error.
Function: GetNextMemory
Error code: 27


Did you perhaps need any special configuration with your Sony Ericsson?

Thanks, anyway
