How to backup address in phonebook

[Sridhar_Rao]

I have SE z550i and I would like to backup the contacts in my phonebook to my PC just in case.. I have sony ericssson pc suite, but do not know how to use it. I used the wizard to synchronise the device (handset & my laptop) via bluetooth.

I used the option in the phone to send the contacts via bluetooth to my computer. A file (~2MB) by the name ***.vcf, a V card file or something got transferred. when I cliked to open it MS outlook opened. I have no idea how to look for the various contacts and their details in outlook or anyother way.

Please help/guide.

It did open in notepad, but not in a manner that anyone can understand. This is how it looks in notepad:
