The basic idea...

"The basic idea behind open source is very simple. When programmers on the Internet can read, redistribute, and modify the source for a piece of software, it evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs. And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems astonishing...
...The Open Source pages exist to make this case to the commercial world."    - Introduction to Open Source - www.opensource.org

* Import Contacts

market download Import Contacts is an application to help you import your contacts directly to your Android device without the need to upload them to Google first. Contacts (vCard ".vcf" files) are imported from your SD card directly in to the phones contact list.

This is useful for backing up your phone's contacts, and transferring them to other devices.

Features:
- Imports vCards from your SD card
- Supports names, organisations/titles, phone numbers, email and postal addresses, notes and birthdays
- Currently no support for images/photos (I intend to add this soon)
- Can merge with existing contacts on device
- Support for right back to Android version 1.5!
- Licensed under the GPLv3

(You might also be interested in the Export Contacts app, which saves your phone's contacts to the SD card.)
