 Just copy it to your neo, install [http://static.frimp.net/neo/python-dbus_0.81.1-ml1_armv4t.ipk python-dbus], and then run:
-  python addContact sim
+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.

 It will import all of the contacts on your SIM into openmoko-contacts.  Unfortunately, my SIM doesn't seem to give a contact type, so I arbitrarily set the first phone number for a given name to Home, the next to Work, and any remaining to Cell numbers.  I figure it's far easier to click the drop-down & correct them as necessary than to type all your contact info in manually on the neo keyboard, which was my option before I wrote this :-)

 Question:
 I am having an issue with the script.
 Everytime i run the script I get a:

 The problem, why ssh won't work (you get a message like this one):

 dbus could find its session address somehow through X11, but as said, it is not supported. But there is another solution:
 Using the Neo on-screen keyboard type (or source a script):
-  echo -n 'export ' > /home/root/x
+echo -n 'export ' > /home/root/x
-  set | grep DBUS >> /home/root/x
+set | grep DBUS >> /home/root/x
 In your ssh session type:
-  . /home/root/x
+. /home/root/x
 Then you have the dbus Id from the local X11 console in the ssh session and the addContact script should run fine.

 Better still - add the following lines below the import section of the script:
