If you just want a one-way sync then you probably don't want to mess with 
OpenSync. OpenSync seems to work well 99% of the time and then duplicates all 
my contacts or randomly deletes stuff the rest of the time and I can't afford to 
lose peoples' numbers or entries from my calendar because of that so I just 
keep them in sync manually, unfortunately.

To do a one-way sync:
Menu > Contacts > Options > Copy > To memory card
This will stick all your contacts as VCards onto your memory card and then you 
can copy them off or import them into KOrganizer.


Menu > Contacts > Options > Copy > From memory card
If you stick stuff in the above directory of the memory card then you can 
import in the same way. You want to use Export vCard (either version may work) 
and then choose "multiple files".

Personally, I just use KOrganizer read-only with my Google Calendar and sync 
my Google Calendar and contacts to my phone. Far from ideal but until I or 
someone else gets Google Calendar KResource/Akondai support working its the 
best option I've found at the moment.
