like others said, its not possible with the iphone. you can swap out your sim card to another phone that is supported to transfer. thats the easiest way.

wait, what? does this "iphone doesn't allow stuff" only apply to the GS models? I had no trouble at all transferring my wifes list of contacts from her Iphone 4 to our new 2010 RX350. Was actually very quick and easy.

The iPhone doesn't support the standard that virtually all phones support for transferring contacts. The 2010 is able to tap into the proprietary protocol only Apple uses to transfer stuff like contacts.
