Check out the section on "AT+CPBR" in the modem's command reference. You could write a little script that parses and formats the command output into a vcf file (or do it by hand) and then import that with evolution.

Thanks; this was exactly what I was looking for!  I was able to extract all the contacts this way and a simple sed script put them in VCF format.  Evolution had no problem importing this file.
