This is how I have transferred all my SMS from my N900 to a Android phone:

1. install glogarchive for N900, switch to LiveDB and export to CSV, e.g. filename "liveDB.csv"
2. run the attached Python script to convert it to Athg2SMS format.
This requires Python to be installed (e.g. on your N900 - apt-get install python)
execute in the Terminal on your Mac/Linux PC or N900 (might work on Windows as well):
Code:
python log2csv.py < liveDB.csv > sms.csv
3. install Athg2SMS on your Android phone, copy sms.csv to it and import it in Athg2SMS using the Nokia format - warning: don't touch the phone during import - the app is unstable.
this might take a while...
4. success

PS: smstools didn't work as they cant differentiate between in and outgoing SMS
