Dilemma (did i spell that right?)

My phone has 6333 messages in its Inbox. I have a habit of writing my messages down before deleting them, and I haven't been doing that for a long time, so the messages go all the way back to Dec 2008. I got down to deleting them recently, but the phone started acting up. There'd always been a problem with the contact list, but now, the phone kept freezing and turning to a grey screen. I had 5 days left for the warranty period to expire, at that time.

So I went to the service centre to see what they could do. I was told that my data will get erased, so the guy attending to my phone attempted to do a backup. It took ages (there were more than 6000 messages after all...) and he asked me if I wanna go take a walk cos that's how long it was taking. After prowling around Gramophone for a while, I returned, to have him tell me that the phone restarted once the backup was done, without displaying the Backup Complete notification.

I decided to go home and try backing it up again on my own, but had similar problems, so I'm unsure whether the backup has been done or not. So this is the quandrary I'm stuck in.

1) I could take the risk and give my phone for servicing.
2) I could go through as many of the messages I'm able to and copy what I want, then give the phone for servicing before the warranty period is over.
3) I could ignore the problem and delete my messages leisurely. However, if the problem worsens and the whole thing gets corrupted, I won't be able to salvage anything, nor will I be able to service the phone under warranty.

I'm shuttling between options 2 and 3. Leaning towards 2. In which case, I needa spend every minute I have going through my phone, then give it for servicing tomorrow. Okay, bye.

(Sigh, the trouble I put myself through just for sentiment's sake.)

There's so much pressure when one's a Literature major.
