Patch Contacts Send All via Email

<<- Return to webOS Patches

Introduction

This patch allows you to create a vCard file containing all your contacts, and then attach that file to an e-mail. WebOS does not offer a built-in way to export your contacts, so this seems to be the next best thing.

Update 1/14/2010: The version in Preware is currently broken on WebOS 1.3.5. The version below has been fixed and works properly with 1.3.5. The updated patch has been submitted to the Preware feed but it will take some time to appear.
