You could also Sync contacts between your N900 and an old Nokia phone. If you need to swap your SIM into a different phone regularly then contact Syncing is easy.

That is the main point, how come we can import all the contacts from SIM CARD to the phone, but can't export from the PHONE BOOK to SIM CARD. I think Nokia should take serious of consideration to make every user more convinience~~

Import is trivial, export is much trickier - you need to know how to deal with multiple numbers, too many contacts, etc. Does the SIM card hold anything more than name and a single number per contact? (As I say, it's been years since I last kept any contact details on SIM)

I have brought this up as a brainstorm. I would link to it, but I'm not sure how to do so.
