But maybe i misunderstood and is a sync to something external not a backup..

I think the point is that the IM contacts are already stored on the IM servers, and that is the best place for them to live.

I understand what you mean about merging them, though, as I can imagine it being annoying to have to redo that if you had a disaster. I guess the problem is that the merging is a concept only understood by the N900 itself. (Of course, there will be ways of backing up everything on the N900, including the contact merge info, but that wouldn't be synced up to the IM provided or Exchange server, that's all.)
