Have you tried PC Suite though, NOT Ovi Suite. They're two separate things.
Also, another option: Glogger on the N900 can export the database to a csv file. There is probably an app (if not a built-in one) that can support importing from csv. Or, at the very least, you could probably load Glogger onto the N9 and use it to view the old DB until something does come around?

PC suite connects to the N9, however it can only export messages, no import option. it can import/export contacts.
I haven't found any app to read in a message db. (one is in git though)
also, no events show up in calendar.

If PC Suite can get messages, then you may be in luck!
Use the backup application in PC Suite to backup from the N900 and then restore to the N9.

(The Nokia Messaging Centre application doesn't let you manually put messages into the Inbox and Sent folders because it's a POS).
...and be VERY wary of CSV. I started out that way with the importer script that did the rounds here a couple of years back...but SMSes often have line breaks in them...CSV no like line breaks.

Ah, but you weren't clear where in PC Suite you were talking about.
All that matters is the backup application, and if that doesn't let you backup/restore messages then fair enough. An import/export is different from a backup/restore though, which is the point I was trying to make. PC Suite's Communications Centre has always let me export messages...but not import them. Backup has always let me do both....but obviously thats not much use for individual messages.

EDIT: Upon further inspection this did not work. I got a list of everyone that I had sent messages to or received from, but not the actual messages.
I managed to transfer SMS messages from the n900 to my n9 using Nokia suite (the beta). Both PC Suite and the Ovi suite failed.
I used backup and restore, however I have not checked for completenesss

Failing that...make a backup using Ovi Suite (I doubt PC Suite and therefore it's backup application will support the N9), and restore it onto the N9.
You won't get niceties like fMMS messages...but you should get your SMSes and contacts.
