How to transfer MAC contacts to Nokia Lumia 520

Freaking Microsoft killed another day for me!
My iPhone 4 died after many years of service and I bought as a temporary quick fix.

Now how I sync:

1) my contacts are saved on my mac (remember my iPhone is dead, no bluetooth transfer here...)

2) this app exported the contacts as http://address-book-to-csv-exporter.en.softonic.com/mac CSV

3) NOW where I was going wrong - this CSV has to be hand edited - open in excel, leave just 3 columns - first name, last name and mobile (if it has a different name rename)

4) Open a hotmail account, add the edited CSV into contacts

5) Sync the hotmail with your phone


The whole afternoon wasted but I managed to get there!

I should have bought a second hand iPhone...

UPDATE:
My iPhone mysteriously returned to life and Lumia was returned to the shop - it's a very very bad phone imho...
