The two most successful suggestions I've seen are: 1. Connect the old phone to the Mac via iSync to import addresses from the phone into Address Book.
2. If that doesn't work, you may need to use a PC to import the .pbb file into Outlook or Outlook Express, then sync contacts from iTunes into the phone from a PC. From an online forum (http://howardforums.com/printthread.php? t=1191440): What you need to do is: 1. Download the Cellebrite Content Manager from http:// cellebriteusa.net/contentmanager/ 2. Extract and open the program 3. select Contacts > Open Phonebook 4. select the .pbb file 5. select Contacts > Export and select either Outlook or Outlook Express Then go to Itunes, connect your Iphone, click the info tab, select the Contacts and Calendar buttons and choose Sync Hope that helps!
