See this website to solve all your problems.

The contact file can then be imported to any device

Open Contacts, press upper bar and choose 'Export', the wizard is self-explanatory, the vCard format is universal for as far as I know, I even saw the choice between v2.1 and v3.0, so it should be allright.

In the wizard you can choose where to save the vCards.

Other modern phones should be able to import vCards

As for the reset, do a search on 'n900 hard reset', should work

As I remember it is not possible to save contacts on simcard , Nokia ditched the support for it in order for n900 not to be delayed .
