Transfer address book from Sony Ericsson to Nokia

I just bought a Nokia N8 (yay!) phone, and for the first time, I needed to move my contacts from a Sony Ericsson c901 to a Nokia phone. All the suggestions I saw were clunky (sync via Outlook etc). I wanted the really elegant solution, where I could use the backup of the address book on the memory card. I found it at the bottom of this thread:

http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/t5/PC-and-Mac-Software/Cannot-import-contacts-via-CSV-or-VCF-file/td-p/446594/page/3

1) Transfer your VCF file to your PC in my case from now happily shelved SE
2) Connect to your Device and go to memory\Others\
2) create a folder called contacts and move your vcf file there
3) disconnect usb cable
4) goto contacts, options, copy from mass memory
5) done.

Notes: What I would do: Do a backup of your whole contact list/address book. Transfer to your computer via memory card and name it differently (add date to file name, for instance). Then edit the address book on the phone, to get rid of the contacts you no longer use. Then do a new backup to memory card. Transfer to computer, then use that to add to the new Nokia.
