Hey, I recently traded my iPhone 4 for an HTC Inspire 4G. Though the problem I had when transferring the phones is that a SIM card only holds up to 250 Contacts on ATT. So... of the 441 contacts that I have I still am out a hundred and something contacts. Whenever I go to HTC Sync Update I am not able to turn on the sync contacts switch bar because it is blocked. I am completely unable to click it to turn it on. I am wondering how I can sync the contacts that I have from my iPhone that are saved onto my PC to my Inspire 4g. Is this possible?
 
Easiest bet is import them to Google contacts from your PC, then sync it to your phone wirelessly.

Gmail.com then sign in with the account you used on your phone. Go to contacts and choose to import your contacts file. Then on your phone under settings, accounts and sync make sure Google has contacts syncing and they will populate. Plus you now always have your contacts in the cloud and won't have to transfer to SIM or between PC and phone.

Well... I wish i could do that but all my contacts are iPhone contacts with the .contact file extension. Windows recognizes it as a contact card, but I have no way of transferring it to my Android

If windows recognizes it as a contact card, open and import the contacts into outlook or windows live mail. Then after all the. Contact files are there export using outlook or live mail to a .csv file. Then in Google contacts you can import the. Csv
