Now that Mobile Opera has a quite decent portrait mode virtual keyboard I started to think about the possibility of sending SMS messages using a simple local HTML page.

Could you perhaps call a Python script using Javascript to obtain contact information and send the actual message?

You could use Python's SimpleHTTPServer module and implement your own SimpleHTTPRequestHandler that will do the SMS sending. The advantage of this approach is that you could even send SMS from your computer by pointing your browser to the N900's IP and a custom port when your N900 is connected to your local home network. (of course, for security reasons, you can also opt to only listen on the loopback interface, so that connections from outside are not possible)

Have you tried VertSMS already?

Thanks for the information, I'll have to look into that.

I have tried VertSMS and it is a great idea, but the lack of a qwerty- keyboard makes it not so interesting for me...maybe somebody will implement it in the near future.

Ok, thanks for the info...in that case this idea is probably waste of time.
