			The following code will take the output csv file and transfer it into one large vcf file which you can import using the Contacts application on your n900.

== Import how to ==

To import data, we first need to jailbreak the iPhone. There are many tutorials for this on the net. After jailbreaking, ensure that you have the package "Cydia" installed (usually included by default).

# From Cydia, install securedContacts (from the BigBoss repository)
# Run securedContacts, and download the resulting csv file on your PC.
