Contact phone list in Nokia 6555

Question

I just upgraded my 2 LG1400 phones that I had for 3 years to 2 Nokia 6555s & am suppossed to receive them tomorrow by FedEX.
In the LG1400, you had an option of keeping your Contact phone list either on the Sim card or in the phone itself.
I preferred keeping them only in the phone because it allowed you to list several phone numbers for each contact.
However, since it was not saved on the Sim card, all of your contacts were lost if you ever had to remove your Sim card for whatever reason (which returned the phone to its inital state each time).
Saving the list to the Sim card was much safer, but it made you enter a different contact for each phone number of a particular contact. i.e.- if 1 contact had 3 phone numbers, it required 3 separate entries.
QUESTIONs are: Does the Nokia 6555 work the same?
Which method have you found works best for you?

UPDATE:
This morning (Thursday 5-8-08), I went to the local AT&T Mobility store.
They said they COULD transfer my contact list from my old LG1400 to my new Nokia 6555 using a cable they had that would connect both phones together.
But, before she went to the back to get the cable, she said she would try something even more simple.
She took the SIM card out of my old LG1400 & put it in my new Nokia 6555.
LO & BEHOLD, it accepted it!!!!!!
Then she merely copied my contact list off of the LG1400 SIM card to the phone memory of the Nokia 6555. Then she put back the Nokia 6555 SIM card back into the Nokia 6555 and merely copied the contact list from the phone memory of the Nokia 6555 to the SIM card of the Nokia 6555.
ALL WENT PERFECTLY!!!!
I now have the contact list from my old LG1400 in two places in the Nokia 6555: In the phone memory AND on the SIM card.
Of course, that now means that every entry in my contact list shows up twice. But, I can easily cure that by deleting the contact list from my phone memory & leaving it only on the SIM card.
Since my contact list on my old LG1400 was only on the SIM card, that is where I think I will leave it for a while.
LATER, I expect to take each contact one at a time & transfer each to the phone memory which would enable me to list the various telephone numbers for each contact. That would decrease the number of items in my contact list since most of my contacts have more than 1 telephone number.
