How to Transfer Contacts From a Motorola to an iPhone
Although you can't transfer contacts directly from your Motorola phone to the iPhone, you can sync your Motorola phone with the iSync application on your Macintosh computer and then sync your iPhone with your computer. The iSync application uses Bluetooth to connect to your Motorola phone and transfers your contacts to the Address Book application on your Macintosh. Once the contacts are imported you can sync your iPhone with the Address Book.
