White pages site with vCard support for PDA phones?

I've been searching for an hour, and I can't find a single site where
I can look up people's addresses and phone numbers and download them
as a vCard to my PDA phone (Windows Mobile 5.0).

The closest thing I found was people.yahoo.com, which claims to have
vCard support, but alas the vCards that it generates have LF as their
line terminators instead of CRLF, which is non-compliant with the
vCard standard and breaks the vCard parser on my phone.

So, is there any site out there where I can simply look up somebody's
contact info and download it as a working vCard?

Thanks.

Oops...no, wait, it's not a proprietary Vcard, it's a text message you can
send to any phone....sorry.

vCard is not proprietary, it's an open standard. It's the folks who
*aren't* supporting vCards who are trying to foist proprietary
technologies on people.

I hardly use text messages and therefore don't prepay for them in my
plan. I don't care to pay for the privilege of sending a phone number
to my telephone, when I'm paying for internet and should be able to
download numbers for free directly into my Contacts.

Not to mention the fact that the vCard contains all the contact
information (name, address, phone number, etc.) in an instantly
saveable format, and the text message from SwitchBoard contains nothing
but the phone number -- everything else, you'd need to enter by hand.
