The methods should indeed not be so difficult to implement, but I think
it makes our life way easier to use this module. I was actually thinking
to use it also for the import since it allows you to directly put in
object the content of a file. In addition this module also supports the
vCalendar format to export/import event and todos from an agenda.
I think that all together it brings us quite some help.

I was thinking to import contacts from vCard (at first) to the mobile
phoen.

I have in mind something like:
* in the main window next to the "Add contact" button (on the Contacts
view), add the "Add contact from file"
* Select the file to add
* Open a new window which display on two column, the contact and the
details of the selected one
Something like (sorry I suck in ascii art):

(something a bit like the view of the software 'Contacts' under GNOME)

* For each contact remaining in the list:
devices.series60.contactAdd(contact)

The problem is, I have absolutely no experience in PyQt, so I would not
mind some help (else it might take a while ^^).

How does it sound to you ?

Thanks,

Pierre
