Answer 1

The list of standard contact field and attributes you can use can be found at Forum Nokia (since you're using a Symbian phone).

The JSR-75 specification doesn't really prevent handset manufacturers from adding more fields and attributes but you may need to write code to discover what is possible with your handset.

I would suggest filling a contact with as much information as you can using the handset embedded native Contact application first.

The useful methods for field and attribute discovery are:
PIMList.getArrayElementLabel()
PIMList.getAttributeLabel()
PIMList.getFieldLabel()
PIMList.getSupportedArrayElements()
PIMList.getSupportedAttributes()
PIMList.getArrayElementLabel()
PIMList.getArrayElementLabel()
PIMList.getSupportedFields()
