   Can I then remove the .vcf files? Ah don’t have the patience to wait I’ll just do it.

   You should copy the vcf to another place to prevent over write.

   Many Thanks to you, this is awesome.

   I followed every step as you mentioned. But I really need your help with a peculiar problem I am facing. I imported all contacts as you mentioned from my Nokia E63. But when I go to contacts in the new Andriod Phone, I am unable to see any contact listed there. When someone from my contacts list calls me, I see their name, but cannot see anyone in the contacts list. I have enabled display SIM contacts too, yet nothing. I am using Dell Streak 5 with Andriod 2.2.2.

   Can you please help, I will be very grateful to any suggestions to help me out.

   inside the Contact … Display Options … Choose contacts to display, try the settings there to display your contacts.

    Galaxy Note does have microSD, you can copy to the microSD there.

    If without sd, you could try the usb and turn on mass storage.
13. juzhax says:

    December 19, 2011 at 1:19 pm

    You can copy to your SDcard using USB mass storage way.

    Ok so! The easiest, no time consuming at all and the most effective method I could find is to sync your Nokia contacts with google and get them on your android phone. On most Nokia s60 phones an application named “mail for exchange” is per installed or can be installed from Nokia store for free. To setup a google account in mail for exchange follow instructions on http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=147951

    While setting up, only select contacts to be synced and select “no” for everything else if your only goal is to transfer contacts. When setup is complete, in “mail for exchange” app opened, select “options” and select “synchronize”. All your contacts will be on google in seconds. Later, just sync your android phone with your google account and all your contacts are there.

    Keep in mind to be patient. “Mail for exchange” pauses for a moment after every 50 contacts have transferred. This is the most helpful method I could find after a whole night’s research and it really worked for me.

    I’m using this way because we could have double backup, the vcf file, if something wrong with the server we still can restore without any problem.

    it says target memory is full(but I have 11 mb free space in it ) and it gives me that message even just for contact. what is wrong?
23. juzhax says:

    March 19, 2012 at 11:35 pm

    Maybe your memory card have problem.
    Try to copy all data from your SDcard ( memory card ) to your PC, then format the SDcard, and copy back all the data into it.
    Then try to run the export contact again.

    the most outside directory.

    The most easy… mark all and send them through bluetooth!!!
31. juzhax says:

    April 27, 2012 at 11:08 am

    How about if you have more than 1000 contacts ?

    Hi, juzhax,
    I couldn’t find the link or icon to the Menu under the Contacts in my Galaxy Note

    4.Main Menu -> Contacts -> Menu -> Import/Export -> Import from SD card -> Phone-Only

    Juzhax.. I just want to say, thank you so much for your advice!
    I searched and searched and couldnt find a simple way to transfer the contacts.. and then I found your article.

    Problem solved in 10minutes! :D

    Your method is so straight forward I personally think it should be included all Android phone manuals. :) Thanks again.

    Hi thanks for this helpful post. An even easier way I used to transfer 502 contacts from my Nokia 6120 Classic to my Samsung Galaxy Y Duos was to save all my contacts to the Micro SD card in my Nokia (following steps 1-3 above), than simply take it out and put it in the Samsung.. Then select and hey presto it located all the .vcf files loaded them all up. Didn’t need a computer or any software. Couldn’t be easier!!

    Another simple method: select all contact on the Nokia phone and send to new android phone over bluetooth. Worked for me. Fast and simple
