Q: How do I export iPhone contacts?
My goal is to make a back up of my iPhone contacts, preferably in a printed list.
I figured the way to do that would be to somehow merge my phone contacts into my Google Contacts on my MacBook (however, I do not want to merge my Gmail Contacts into my phone, as there are 100s of contacts there I do not want/need on my phone, so I am proceeding cautiously).
Under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar >iCloud I have Contacts "On" (but have not done an iCloud backup FWIW because I am not sure my data is less than 5gb). Doing this alone does not help.
Can anyone advise me of the best way to achieve this goal without making a big mess?
Thanks in advance.
iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.3.3, version 4.3.5

You could use the free app My Contacts Backup, which has the option to export your iPhone contacts as a csv (Excel) file which can then be printed. It also will backup to a vcf file, which can be imported to another iOS device or mac Address Book.
