Is there a way to transfer contacts onto a Google account from vzw's backup assistant? I want to root for my bro but need to somehow transfer his contacts before jumping

Why do you need to transfer contacts before rooting?

I export my contacts to the SD card, I don't want them in Google, and I hate backup assistant.

He does have a Google account but he doesn't have his contacts linked to it. I guess they're linked to the phone. Apparently he found an app that'll take care of transferring to SD

+1 on pool_shark. After you export the contacts to the SD card, you can import them as gmail contacts so they will be backed up there.
