Install phone-control and you can do basic stuff from commandline.
See here for advanced dbus commands.
and here for the application.

Have extras-devel enabled and issue
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install phone-control
Code:
phone-control --bton
(--btoff for turning off again)

Also you can install extmou and usb hostmode and try to control your n900 with your mouse.

For backing up contacts from commandline use:
Code:
osso-addressbook-backup -e /media/mmc1/
It makes a vcard file at the root of your SD, change path to
/home/user/MyDocs for the eMMC
