[*]The instructions mention exporting the SMS messages as a CSV. Upon inspecting the code, I realized that the program is expecting a semicolon ( ; ) as the delimiter. Just as a heads up to people who might be trying this out with a true CSV file (delimited by commas), you'll get a Segmentation Fault. Use semicolon delimiters instead.
[*]After I ran the program, I checked the Conversations app to make sure the messages had been imported. They had, of course. The only weird thing is that, despite having the correct dates from when I sent/received them, they showed up at the top of the Conversations list, despite being much older than messages I sent on the N900 recently. 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 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 wrote a simple command line tool for importing SMS messages in csv format to N900. Using that tool I was able to import ~500 received and ~100 sent SMS messages from my old E66.
Here are few step how I did that:
1. I exported all messages to csv files using "Nokia Communication Centre" from Nokia PC Suite
2. merged together exported received and sent messages to one file. eg. sms.csv
3. copied sms.csv to device to home directory together with smsimporter binary
4. and then entered these commands from terminal:
5. done, now you should have your old SMS messages imported.
Code of that tool is little bit ugly, because I didn't wanted to spend all work day writing it. So, if someone want to improve it, write simple GUI for it, you are welcome.
PLEASE MAKE BACKUP OF YOUR MESSAGES IN THE DEVICE USING BACKUP APPLICATION BEFORE IMPORTING/EXPORTING YOUR OLD SMS MESSAGES!!!
EDIT:
- Added updated version of smsimporter. This version should automatically detect delimiter.
- Added smsexporter tool.
