changing network tomorrow: how do I save everything to phone memory?

I am moving to another network tomorrow. I have a K750i. I have saved my Contacts (phone nos) from the SIM to the phone memory. However I don't want to lose the following and am not sure what to do to make sure I don't, so please can you help?

1. photos or pictures received or sent by text which are saved in my message inbox or sent items. The options I can see are View, More > Save Message - but that only saves to the SIM memory so it will be lost tomorrow unless I can save it to the phone ?
2. the content of text messages that I would like to keep. No option I can see to save to phone memory.
3. The most important is that my start up screen and screensaver photo are very precious to me. Will I lose them when changing SIM to another network and if so, how do I save them and re-use them with a new SIM?

Please help! Many thanks.

    They will still all be on your Sim card or phone. They won't just disappear tomorrow.

    Look in your instruction manual for details of how to transfer them.

    USB cable to PC, IR to PC or another phone? Bluetooth to PC or another phone?

    Hi, I don't have an instruction manual any more. I assume that the photos and short video clips with file nos are saved safely on the memory stick (from where I can bluetooth). but I can't see the start up photo in my folders - that's what I'll miss most of all as it's of my old cat.
    I have forwarded (only option I could see) a couple of the MMS to another phone. I would rather cancel the contract handover than lose that photo of my cat to be honest (muuuuch loved). thanks.
  • Go to menu; file manager; pictures; either camera pictures OR scroll down to the one on that menu you want to keep; view; more; send; then you can send as a picture message, email, bluetooth or infrared. Sending via email/picture message will involve resizing. Sending on O2 as a pictrure message BUT then using an email address as the telephone number will use up 4 texts from the bundle. Other networks will charge as a piucture message outside the bundle.

    Brilliant, thanks guys. I've bluetoothed most of them to my computer but the key one (the wallpaper or is it start up screen? sure you know what I mean) photo isn't on this phone or memory stick. It must be on the original very small memory stick that came with the phone -and I can't find that :(
    It's the main screen when the phone is on (not the screensaver, which I have found). Do you think it will survive the network change over?
