I think there are apps in the market that will backup your text messages. Just make sure you store any backups off the phone since unlocking will wipe everything.
I recommend SMS Backup+ for backing up text messages. If you want to save anything else, just transfer them to your PC and you'll be good.
Thanks everyone! I'll take a look when I get home. I prb. won't be rooting until cm 9 comes out, but it's never too early to start learning.
While the CM team does very good work. There are some pretty awesome roms out right now. I've used both the Axiom and Android Revolution roms and they are completely stable and really enhance the Nexus tremendously.
I see no reason to wait til CM releases their rom, its worth trying what is currently out there and this way when CM9 is officially released you have a comparison.

This is because we all use an app from the market called "titanium backup" which saves the data of every app, the app itself, data from the phone system, and the link to the market. All kf these options are customisable and interchangeable. You'll want to purchase the licensed version because that will automatically restore apps with the touch of a button, as where the free version requires you to manually approve every app you restore. With the rate you will be using this vital tool, it is really pennies-on-the-dollar.
Naturally, to restore these apps you musn't let your Google account restore your apps upon first startup. Don't worry about the market not recognizing them, after your first initial reboot after restoration, everything will be as it once was. Really a smooth process just time consuming to wait while things restore. I usually flash at night when I have a good 2 hours to dedicate to my phone explicitly.
Ah, I see! I'm going to give rooting a try and play around with a few roms! Thanks for the advice!
Will I loose all my app data when I root? I have a ton of text messages I want saved, and haven't rooted because I'm not sure what will happen to them.
