A tool for semi-automatic merging of How to merge multiple contacts of same person?

An androidAndroid newbie here --- I've recently got my first Android phone (HTC Desire S) and I'm trying to clean up a mess of my contacts from a simSIM card (three of them, in fact). For example, a certain Edward Bloggs might have several entries:

  • Edward Bloggs @london, mob

  • Eddie B @london, home [it's his nickname, we all call him Eddie B]

  • Eddie @hawaii [he's got a vacation home in there, and... er... who likes paying paying roaming charges anyway] All these are in the 'first name' field or split randomly by the phone into the first, middle and last names.

All these are in the 'first name' field or split randomly by the phone into the first, middle, and last names.

  • there are, of course, google entries from me sending emails to both his work and personal emails.

Now, the question is --- is there a tool which can aid in mergingway to merge these contacts? Preferably something where one could select which ones to merge. Anything short of exporting all contacts onto a PC and manually editing the vcfVCF files would be great.
