It depends on various flavors of phone OSs like Symbian, android, iOS
For example: Android saves its SMS's in /data/data/com.android.providers/telephony/databases/mmssms.db
iPhone also used SQLite database internally. /var/root/Library/SMS/sms.db
It's a lightweight embedded SQLite database.

Have a look at the Wammu project. It can access phonebooks, SMS, calendars, etc. on many cell phone types.

@eumiro: Access the files. I thought Wammu will let you access the *content* of these files. – Jungle Hunter Oct 20 '10 at 07:37

Text files in older phones while newer ones may use light weight databases. (Details about Android and iOS in zengr's answer.)
If possible you can browse the file system on your phone. It the phone does not allow that then you will probably have to root it.

I think SE uses Sony Ericsson Java Platform or Symbiam (it has an embedded db) but not sure about SE J2ME OS. – zengr Oct 20 '10 at 07:31

@zengr: And phones like Nokia 1100 too (I'm guessing this one, not sure). W810i didn't have Symbian et al. :) – Jungle Hunter Oct 20 '10 at 07:35
