I know someone who just got an Atrix 4G and previously had an iPhone 3GS. I was asked how he could move his contacts from the iPhone/iTunes onto the Android device. I have never owned an iPhone and have had limited interaction with them. Does anyone know the simplest method of getting iPhone contacts onto an Android device?

I'd probably suggest using Google Sync to sync the iPhone contacts with the Google account, then using that account for the Android.

Probably the best way, I can't find a simple way to export iPhone contacts to .vcf. – Matthew Read♦ Mar 24 '11 at 0:06
Is there any way to dump them to a simpler format like CSV? GMail will happily import a big CSV of Contacts. – GAThrawn Mar 24 '11 at 10:44
I just got word that Google sync worked well for him, thanks. – Kyle Mar 24 '11 at 12:36

I know this has been solved already, but I just faced the same problem and found an easy solution that maybe helps someone else. If you don't really like going over Google Contacts to sync from iPhone to Android, you can also use "Bump". It's a small application that works on both platforms and works perfectly between the two. I just ended up moving all my contacts in a simple bump ;-)

You can use an app that transfers the contacts via bluetooth or wi-fi, this one, for example.
