Easiest way to copy contacts from 7650?

I'm attempting to backup my contact data from the phone memory. Other than simply copying each indivdually unto my simcard I can't find a straight forward and easy way. Facilities open to me: PC Bluetooth dongle and a T610. I'm not currently able to get PC Suite to connect. Although using the bluetooth driver soiftware i can send and recieve fine. :evil:

You can use SmartVCard from www.symbianware.com .You can send all of the contacs as a vCard to you PC and when you need them back to the phone.

I was thinking there was probably some third party software that would fulfill my needs but wasn't sure what. Anyway thanks for the heads up.

Having exported my contacts to .vcf format, I find that I don't seem to be able to send to my pc or save them unto my simcard. Where would i need to save the file so that maybe the msg program would have access to the file?

I can't send them to PC as the Nokia PC Suite refuses to connect to the 7650. My bluetooth dongle works fine as i'm constantly backing up images and other data. I would use the defualt software for the fact that the 7650 contact manager doesn't allow the user to send all contacts via bluetooth. Only email. PC Suite will not connect to my handset.

This is what i do,i export all contacs in to some .vcf file,then i use a file manager like FExplorer to send the .vcf to my PC via BT,that is it.It works fine.
