1. Quit turning off your phone. ;)

2. How are you putting the contacts on the phone? Just putting them in on the N900? I've heard you can do it over OviSuite, but it sucks so I don't use it.

3. Are you losing other data? Just contacts?

4. Try to back them up with Backup, and see what happens.

5. I don't know the answer to your question, obviously, but this is all what I'd look at if I were you.

If you back them up once, you can restore them every time. That'll be all sorts of fun-like.

Are you on Vodafone?
I had same issue and it turned out to be the SIM card was at fault. Got a replacement and all works fine now.

if you lose ALL Your contacts then it can't hurt to
Code:

mv ~/.osso-abook ~/.osso-abook.bak
then go to contacts, power button->end current task and start it again

no guarantees though, I don't know if osso-abook regenerates a db, or what you'er going to lose
in case it glitches up then do this (only if you've performed the previous command)
Code:

rm -rf ~/.osso-abook
mv ~/.osso-abook.bak ~/.osso-abook

and then go to contacts, power button->end current task
