I happen to have over 800 contacts and have been working with Graham on GPE-Contact and GPE_Calendar. He's very open to suggestions and help, I'm sure that if you gave him a clear explanation of which fields are imported wrong, he'll look into it and get it fixed. I just finally got the import to digest my contact file, and havent had a chance to get it cleaned up.
I purchased the N800 as a mini laptop/PIM/MP3 player/and IP Phone. I've had it about a year or so and finally have a working PIM, even though like you I think the GPE-Contact part needs more work, but the whole GPE group are quite functional.
