How to transfer contacts from Sprint phone to iPhone?

Hi,
I'm contemplating purchasing an iPhone and I have no clue as to transferring my contacts over. Is this something I can do myself or does the store have to do it?
Thanks,
Mark

It's impossible to say without knowing which particular phone you have.

If you don't already sync your Sprint phone's contacts with your computer, it could be as simple as sending the contacts from the Sprint phone via Bluetooth to your Mac (or PC), import them into Address Book (or Outlook), then sync them to the iPhone via iTunes.

Without knowing what phone you have, it's capabilities, and your computers capabilities no-one can say for sure though...

A third and less common way is to use the sync software and cable for your phone, if you happen to have bought it. You'd sync contacts with the software, export the contacts from the software as CSV, then import the CSV file to Address Book on your Mac which will sync to iPhone from there.

So you've got a lot of ideas. I used the method above for my ancient phone, but several of my friends only had to do the SIM card swap covered earlier.

When I bought my iPhone at an AT&T corporate store, salesman was able to transfer information from my Verizon Motorola phone to the iPhone using a device installed on the counter with the proper cable from a large selection in a drawer at the counter. If you are near an AT&T corporate store, ask. I do not know if ATT affiliates (mall kiosks, etc) have this capability.
