Transferring old SMS to new iPhone

Anyone know how I can get all my old text messages onto my new iPhone. I have a lot of sentimental messages that I don't want to lose when I give my old iPhone away!!!

G5 / iPhone, Mac OS X (10.5.3)

From iTunes Help topic: Restoring or transferring your iPhone settings
"When you connect your iPhone to your computer, settings on your iPhone are automatically backed up to your computer. You can restore this information if you need to (if you get a new iPhone, for example, and want to transfer your previous settings to it).

Automatically backed-up information include text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, and more."

In addition to Syphone, there is also PhoneView to copy SMS messages to the computer
