Hi there,
Try the instructions on this site:

Should help you!Useful is beautiful0 -
Thanks
I'm a bit stuck (following the guidelines above) - under info in itunes you should be able to sync it with google - mine says 'your contacts are being synced with your iphone over the air' - emm, what does that mean? lol. There doesn't seem to be an option to change it?

Hi there, think that means that your iPhone is sync'd wirelessly.
Probably best to:
1. Open ITunes
2. Plug in your phone
3. Select your phone from the 'Devices' section on the sidebar. If this is not visible choose 'show sidebar' from the 'View' menu.
4. Once you've selected your phone, click the 'Info' button (between summary and apps)
5. Tick the box next to 'sync contacts with' - then choose 'Google Contacts' from the drop down menu.
I reckon you could then go back to following the instructions on the link i posted earlier.Useful is beautiful0 -
Thanks - you are a star - contacts are in the new phone

Glad to hear it worked.
Funnily enough I had to go the other way from Android to IOS not too long ago, that was an interesting evening (not!!)Useful is beautiful0
