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

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.
