Here is a python script to import contacts from your SIM card into your neo.
Just copy it to your neo, install python-dbus, and then run:
python addContact sim
On my neo, for some reason I can't connect to dbus when running from an ssh session (either USB or over Bluetooth). So you'll probably have to run the above command in the neo Terminal.
