    Err I don't think so.. Unless you have root? Then maybe pull of the phonebook db.. But that will mean ALOT of copy and pasting, and you could only do it by pulling the phonebook datasheet off your iPhone and pasting them in there..
    I save my contacts in google mail, so when I restore my phone I can just click sync contacts with google mail and they're all back on there. Also if you add new contacts (either on your phone or in gmail contacts) when you next sync with iTunes it will update whichever one needs it
    You should try it out, saves me sooooo much time

    Save the contacts to your SIM with the Nokia, stick it into the iPhone and go to Settings>mail, contacts, calendars then scroll down and find the "Import SIM contacts" button and select it.

    Just did it with a guy's Sony Ericsson to his new iPhone 3GS.

    This is assuming your Nokia has the ability to save contacts to SIM.

    Edit: I believe this only works one way. I don't think you can save contacts to SIM from the iPhone. Although, there might be a Cydia tweak for that. Not sure.

    Cut your SIM and buy a SIM adapter. I have a SIM adapter for my microSIM so I can activate other iPhones for people. Works great.

    But sure, store could be faster. Dont know if they charge tho. When I was on Verizon they always charged me :/

    Download mfe on ur Nokia, sync to an account (or just make one up) then sync that to ur iPhone. Takes a minute, and no computer required
