How do I import vcf contacts onto Imate SPV C500?

[Guest john_wings]

I have just upgraded my phone from a Panasonic GD87 to the Imate SPV C500 (on the Orange network).

Now I have the nightmare of swapping contacts from my old Panasonic phone to the my new Imate !

The contacts on my Panasonic were not stored on the SIM and if I copy them to the SIM it looses some of the contact information.

So instead I sent each contact on the Panasonic via infrared to my laptop (I could not send all contacts in one go, I had to send each contact one by one... all 170 of them !)

The Panasonic sends contacts via infrared as a .vcf file in the format shown below...

BEGIN:VCARD

VERSION:2.1

N;CHARSET=UTF-8:Rob

TEL;HOME;VOICE:0123 456789

TEL;HOME;CELL:07973 123456

END:VCARD

So I now have 170 vcf files which I need to somehow import onto my Imate SPV C500.

Does anyone know how I can do this, without having to manually enter each contact into the phone ?

I could write a macro to reformat the data in the vcf files if necessary, using Excel or Word etc.

I manually entered a few contacts into the Imate to see where the contacts are stored on the phone.... but I cannot find them ?

Does anyone know where the contacts are stored and how I can edit them ?

Thanks.
