Sync contacts with Gmail and send yourself texts? Think you can only sync music with kies?

Nope, very buggy and bad program.
I managed to get my sms to the phone with another program though.

iPhone SMS to Android Converter
Step 1: How to find your iPhone SMS database
Jailbreakers: You can either follow the "iTunes Users" instructions, or install OpenSSH via Cydia and use something like scp, WinSCP or Fugu to copy "/var/Mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db" to your desktop.
iTunes Users: If you have a recent backup of your iPhone, or haven't received any new SMS you'd like to move to your Android phone since the last backup, you can skip the first step:
make a backup in iTunes (right-click your iPhone icon in the left pane)
depending on your operating system, go to the folder
Windows 7/Vista: "C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\"
Windows XP: "C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\"
Mac OS X: "~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/"
Linux: "/itunes/?/you're/kidding/me/right/?" (seriously, i have no idea if that's ever gonna happen)
if there's more than one folder in there, look for the one which doesn't have a timestamp (-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS) at the end, and open it
copy the file "3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28" to your desktop
older iTunes versions may use the extensions ".mddata" or ".mdbakup"
on Mac OS X Lion the file doesn't have any file extension
optional: rename "3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28" to "sms.db", if you're a neat-freak
Step 2: Use iSMS2droid
Option 1) Get iSMS2droid on the Android Market
Step 3: Import your messages on Android
If you used Option 1 (the App):
Install SMS Backup & Restore (Android Market Link) to your Android phone, launch it, tap on "Restore", select "iSMS2droid.xml", done!
