Hi, I don't know if this is of any help to anyone, but I was just trying out a few things with the N900 the other day and I managed to transfer all my contacts from my Blackberry Pearl 8120 (Yes, a Blackberry) via Bluetooth to the N900
All the fields transferred correctly. See screen-shots here:

But the best feature of the Contacts in N900 is that it manages all contacts from the address book and email accounts in a single place.
After setting up my Gmail account on the device and then importing the address book from Blackberry, I ended up with many cases where I had 2 copies of the same person, i.e. one contact containing only the email address and the second contact (for the same person) containing address, phone nos, birthday and other emails addresses.
But with N900, I simply have to select Merge Contact from the menu (see image here:

)
and it'll allow you to select another contact and it'll merge the details of the 2 contacts and will then automatically delete the other one.
Just my 2 cents!
