I wrote it in ~5 hours and I'm sure it can crash in some unexpected situations. CSV files exported from Nokia PC suite is using semicolon as delimiter.

I rebooted the device, but that didn't change anything. This is only an issue for those like me who have already been using the N900 prior to running this import. Not a huge deal, but slightly annoying.
I was importing my old SMS messages to the empty device, so I have all my conversations in the correct order. The most recent messages are on the bottom. smsimporter is filling storage_time, start_time, end_time fields, but for some unknown reason storage_time was always set to current date. So, maybe this is the problem, but I'm not sure.
