Option 1: use an application like BBEdit to reformat the vCard to be
compatible (really tedious as far as I remember).
Option 2: I guess you have a Palm... Install the Entourage conduit, sync
to the Palm, remove the Entourage conduit and replace it with thye Palm
Desktop one and after re-synching, the data should have migrated to the
Palm Desktop application.

It's not perfect (I think some fields won;t make it), but it's free and
not that complicated.

That's because QueueSync is known to be bad software. That doesn't prove
anything about other, better software. And most good shareware software
allows you to try it out for a limited period for free.

As Corentin says, it's very easy to use the Entourage conduit to sync to
Palm. He omits to tell you where to get it. If you're using Entourage X, you
get the Entourage Handheld Sync Installer from the MacTopia website. If
you're using Entourage 2004, you find the Handheld Sync Installer in the
Additional Tools folder of the Microsoft Office 2004 folder in
/Applications.

There is software for importing directly to or from Palm Desktop available,
but it's complicated to use and should not be necessary at all if you have a
Palm. There's no need for Palm Desktop at all.
