Problems exporting contacts

Hi guys.  I have a P1i and can't seem to export my phonebook contacts from this phone to an external source like a PC or new phone (Nokia).  Can you guys help me out.  Thanks.

So which method are you using to do this?

Not applicable

I used to be able export my contacts from my old nokia using this method:

1. Go to contacts

2. Go to "options"

3. Select "Mark All"

4. Go to "Options"

5. Select "Send to"

6. Select "Bluetooth"

7. Select device

8. Send

It used to work and I would have all the contacts sent to my PC as .vcf files or business cards when sent to another nokia phone.  From my PC I could then send the contacts to my P1i.

But it doesn't seem to wok the other way around.

Can you not use the SIM card or memory card (if compatible) to transfer contacts between the two phones?

I can use te SIM card for only 250 contacts at a time. But this method captures only 1 detail per contact, i.e. 1 phone number only.  this doesn't work well for contacts with multiple details.  Contacts saved as back ups in the memory card aren't compatible between Nokia and Sony. Well I guess I just have to live with the limitations of the P1i. Thanks  anyway.
