First Look: Sharecard for iPhone
Since the iPhone introduction, many users have wanted the ability to send an receive vCards. There have been plenty of vCard sending applications on the App Store, but one that recently caught my attention was Sharecard [iTunes link]. The application has a nice user interface, and allows you to easily send a vCard through email. When you first launch the application, you are able to set the default vCard to send. When you navigate back to the vCard tab, and tap the "Send Card" button, you will have the option to send the card via email. In the email section, you can either type in a new email address, or select an email address from your contacts.
This application does make sending card very easy, but for the price I would like to see more functionality. For instance, it would be nice to send one card to multiple people. Also, the vCards are delivered through the developer's mail servers (which is a do-not-reply account) -- I would like the email to be sent from the default mail account on my iPhone, as the recipient would be more aware of who the card is from. However, as it is, the application is very useful, and just plain works. You can download Sharecard from the iTunes App Store for $1.99US.

I've hada similar look at sharing contact details, comparing vCards, vCardMailer, EmailContact and beamME.

Short version: If you don't want your contact details going through someone else's servers, then go with vCardMailer.
What we need is an app that automatically makes an address book entry by taking a photo of someone's business card... already available on windows mobile phones.

Let's get our grammar correct, shall we?
I like Contacts 2 Go, and it's only $.99

Handshake is a better alternative. And its FREE !

The iPhone can already receive vcards. When one is opened in Mail you have the option to import the vcard into your contacts. It comes in very handy. :)
