How to Transfer Contacts from Bada to Android

The easiest way to transfer contacts from Bada to Android is to dump them onto an empty SIM card and copy from it to the memory of a new smartphone. The disadvantage of this method: the SIM card does not support all phone book options (long names, several phone numbers in one contact). The second method, already known, is through a Google account. If in the future you leave auto-sync and Google display on your Android smartphone, then when you save a new contact, the phone will ask: phone, sim or Google. This is convenient because the data can be immediately saved in your account and edited from your computer. And, the third way, transfer the necessary contacts (in vcf. format) using an external SD memory card.
