Exporting your contacts from Thunderbird

Get "MoreFunctionsForAddressBook" from http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html

Install the downloaded *.xpi file in Thunderbird. Export your address books to a file in Vcf format. "scp" the text file containing your contacts to somewhere in your phone. run phyton script. Works beautifully!.

This can be expanded to a howto. Let me know what you think. Cheers, Saul
