I want to export contacts located onmy HTC DESIRE SIM card to GOOGLE account. It is because I want to sync such contacts with my linux based PC (Thunderbird with apropriate plug-in) and my Android based tablet. So:
- Hoh can I export SIM located contacts to my GOOGLE account? I am not able to fing the way to do it. Any help?

cant you use export/import function? => export all contacts to SD, import into Google Account on phone and than delete the sim contacts.

Of course I can export to SD card and I can directly import such file to Thunderbird. But my idea is to sync contacts automaticaly (or on demand) my HTC to my PC and Android based tablet, using Google cloud (account) without deleting SD stored contacts. And i still want to have synchronised contact databse in PC, HTC and tablet even in off-line state that without logging to my Google account.
And I dont know how to import contacts from HTC to Google account. If the only possibily is to manually export contacts to SD card, more simple is to import such file directly to PC using for example "file expert". But I want to have all syncing work to be done automaticaly

sorry maybe I was not clear enough. I meant export it to a file on your phone and import it into your phone's google account. After that it will sync all contacts in your phone's gmail account to your gmail account (internet) which you can connect with your tablet or PC (not outlook though). Would be a cloud solution you are talking about I hope. At least thats the way I go, only got contacts in gmail anymore, no sim contacts or whatever.

---for import into your phone: go into "People" app, select import/export, select import, select into gmail, select exported contact file

Yes. Now I understand the way You suggest to do.
But I find most easy solution of the problem. There is small program avaliable in Android Market which allow syncing phone Android contact list directly to Thunderbird (linux based in my case) over network. So now I have my "private cloud" and I can sync tablet, PC (linux Mandriva) and phone without problems. Does not matter is it SD stored contacts, Goggle and so on. I think this is solution for WIN based PC too if Thunderbird is used as mail client (not tested by myself).
