Preferably free... I found some good ones (Whova) and some bad ones (CamCard) that jack up the info really badly...

Not *super* interested in buying a "device" but it seems like if I want to do what I want, it's going to cost money.

Ideally, I want to add a BUNCH of business cards and create a "contacts" list on my iPhone and then import them into my Contacts on my phone.

Anyone successfully do this? If so, 'splain...

Honest question but why not just take the info off the card and make a new contact in your phone?

Don't think it'd be easier to scan a pile of cards than input manually?

Not in the end when you can just hit a persons name and have the info pop up with the choice to either call or email them.

Exactly...

Manual input would have been a good idea a LONG time ago...

Because now I've got literally 400+ cards... And it's SO much easier to just input the data from the card...

I think he wants to scan and import them to his contacts where he will then have that option. But won't have to type in a "bunch" of contacts info manually because the app scanned the data and imported a new contact for each business card.

Cam Card was highly recommended to me. It scans all the data in and creates a contact for you. I downloaded it, used it on one guys card and haven't used it again.

I used that one and it jacked-up all kinds of words.
