Copy contacts from Samsung Strive to iPhone 4?

[phillycaster]

Gave my son my old iPhone 4. He was using a Samsung Strive. Is there an easy way to get his contacts copied over? Can you use the "TRANSFER" option that is available for iPhone-to-iPhone?

TIA, Ken

sync the old phones contacts to google.  Then sync the iPhone to google using the carddav protocol.  Google has some great tutorials for seting up the accounts.

Additional way is if its already on the google.com cloud service. Search iPhone App Store for "import google contacts".

Or go on iCloud.com then sign up and click on the cogwheel for options. I believe it has import contacts.
