Never tried, but they're just plain text so you can output these with XSLT to achieve the correct syntax. Try the Content Type Mappings extension if you want to set specific mime-type headers.

This is what my content-type-mappings declarations look like:
###### CONTENT-TYPE-MAPPINGS ######
'content-type-mappings' => array(
'xml' => 'text/xml; charset=utf-8',
'text' => 'text/plain; charset=utf-8',
'vcf' => 'application/vcf; charset=utf-8',
),
########
This is my stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" media-type="application/vcf" encoding="utf-8"/>
<xsl:template match="data/contact-details/entry">
<xsl:text>BEGIN:VCARD
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>VERSION:3.0
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>N:</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="last-name"/><xsl:text>;</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="first-name"/><xsl:text>;;;
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>FN:</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="first-name"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="last-name"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>EMAIL;type=INTERNET;type=WORK;type=pref:</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="email"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>END:VCARD
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
and this is the final result

Try this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" media-type="application/vcf" encoding="utf-8"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="data/contact-details/entry"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="contact-details/entry">
<xsl:text>BEGIN:VCARD
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>VERSION:3.0
</xsl:text>

I've noticed that even with the 'vcf' => 'application/vcf; charset=utf-8' in the config.php the header of the file is still a html type and it doesn't download on iphone instead safari iphone reads it straight into the browser. Is this a bug in symphony?

I have the same problem with .ics files (iCal). The resulting file still has a html header.
A friend of mine managed to create a .vcf file with php that would download on iphone iOS 5. This is the php code. Does anybody know how to get the same result with xsl in Symphony?
<?php

END:VCARD";
//set correct content-type-header
header('Content-type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="contact.vcf"');
echo $vcf;
exit;*/

In order to enforce the download you probably also need to set the Content-Disposition header. I don't know if the Content Type Mappings extension can do that, though.

Is there a way to hard-code it?

I created an event that handles the downloading of private files in the Resources section of our intranet. Access to the directory has been locked down via an .htaccess file, but the files can be downloaded by a logged-in member via the Download File event.

Thank you guys. Eventually I've managed to get the files with the correct headers. Unfortunately Safari refuses to download any .vcf files and open them in Contacts.
The only other option is to display a form only to iphone visitors where they can insert their email address and get the .vcf file sent to their inbox. From there, strangely, they can add it to their Contacts. I know that I can attach a send-email filter to a Symphony event. But how would I attach a file (which is in fact a dynamic Symphony page) to an email message?

Has anybody managed to create vCard type files from a datasource?
