Tested products:
Nokia N-gage, firmware version: V 4.03 26-11-2003 NEM-4
Nokia 6600
Maybe the whole S60 series.
Procedure:
Download the Nokia PC Suite for your mobile phone and make
a backup on your local hd.
I used PC Suite for Nokia N-Gage Version 1.0.0
http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite
It will create a huge number of ".dat" files in a specified
directory.
Download, install and start Cygwin. This is not required but
suggested, you could use an hexadecimal editor and a bit of
patience but using Cygwin is surely faster.

Move into the backup directory.
$ ls -al | less
total 6016

etc etc (files created by the nokia pc suite).
Choose a file to examine.
$ ls -al 3102.dat
-rwx------+ 1 Administrator Nessuno 666569 Feb 5 23:59 3102.dat
Use the command "strings" to find printable characters.
$ strings 3102.dat | less
Hello dear howz ur mobile phone working
...
...
etc etc
This is part of an sms I deleted and that I don't see on my phone.
So, just grep every file in the directory to find the complete sms:
$ grep -i "Hello dear" *
Binary file 1770.dat matches
Binary file 3102.dat matches
The sms has been found in 1770.dat file, let's see what's inside it:
$ strings 1770.dat
Hello dear howz ur mobile phone working
4+393915253350
4+393922378986
Got it! The complete sms, with the phone number of the sender (phone
numbers have been changed).
In earlier versions of Nokia PC Suite it just creates a ".nbu" file and
you can just edit it with an hexadecimal editor.
