I was trying to copy contacts from my N85 to my N95 8GB, so I opened Content Copier and ticked the Contacts checkbox for the N85, then restored contacts from the backup file on the N95 8GB. However only 12 of my 600-or-so contacts were restored on the N95 8GB.

Since all my contacts on the N85 are stored in the phone's memory rather than on the SIM, I thought I also needed to check the "files from the phone's internal memory" checkbox in the backup file, but after doing that, the result was the same.

I also used the Nokia Contacts Transfer tool ( http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/Nokia_Contact_Transfer.exe ), which did exactly the same job as Contact Copier.

After taking a look at the .NBU backup file (viewed as a plain-text ASCII file), it seems the contacts were incompletely *backed up* rather than incompletely *restored*, since in the .NBU file I can see traces of only those 12 contacts' names.

What could be the problem here?...
 
It sounds like you are having a boat load of problems with that phone, just judging by the amount of posts and problems that you are having with it.
Sorry to say, but I think you have a lemon of a phone. That might be what the problem is.
 
Hehe, could be, although I rather took my time trying to diagnose any apparent problem, and besides any phone has its fair share, especially when you have high expectations of them :)
