Address Book to T68i vCard transfer glitch

When sending vCards via Bluetooth from Address Book to an Ericsson T68i, problems arise when there are "illegal" characters in the Notes section of the Address Book entry. These characters originate from received SMS messages which have been saved in the Notes area, and are perhaps non-standard (Unicode?) characters.

In this situation, the Address Book hangs up wherein the Sending vCard window freezes to a gray progress bar instead of the blue that it's supposed to be. Even exporting vCards fail in this situation. Deleting the non-standard characters solves the problem. Hopefully Apple can fix the Address Book app to ignore these characters.

[Editor's note: I can't confirm this one, as I don't have a Bluetooth-enabled phone...]
