Import CSV contacts into Android 4 phone

Question

I have a CSV-file with all my contacts (exported from Thunderbird). On my Phone I have Android 4 ice cream sandwich installed. How can I import the contacts from the CSV-File into my Android cellphone (sony ericson Xperia Ray) without using any "spyware" (google, facebook, outlook, etc.)?

Accepted Answer

Here's the Windows-only version of rubo77's solution:

Import the csv-list into the Windows 7 Contacts. (remember you can only use the Windows contacts fields once per csv field)

Export the Windows Contacts into single VCF-Cards.

Glue them all together into one large vcf file:

`type *.vcf>..\all_adresses.vcf`

Convert all_adresses.vcf to UTF-8 so the special characters are correct:

Open all_adresses.vcf in Notepad++, click Encoding > Encode in UTF-8. Save.

Import them into android Phone (in Contacts there is an option to import from SD-Card)
