Default [Q] unable to open vcf format files on my Razr

I got this phone last week. The phone is amazing. The problem i have is the phone doesnt recognize '.vcf' files. so i am having troubles transferring my contacts from my iMac to my Razr. Can anybody suggest any workarounds for opening .vcf files on my Razr so that i can save my contacts????

Thanks in advance.

I'm not 100% s sure about vcf format but considering you need a gmail account to prep utterly use any Android handset would recommend trying to port the file to the contacts section of the gmail account

I had no issues loading all my contacts from vCards (.vcf).

Contacts>Menu>Manage Contacts>Import from sdcard

If I import a vcard received via text message, then it gets imported into my contacts without any problem. But if i transfer contact vcard from my iMac to phone via bluetooth and try to import it into my contacts, i get some parse error. is it a compatibility issue?
