I had to get vcards working in android and iphone recently. I used the following function which is a modified version of the one listed above. This will send vcards that both gmail and mail on the iphone will be able to open. They work in Thunderbird as well.

function mail_attachment($filename, $content, $mailto, $from_mail, $from_name, $replyto, $subject, $message) {
    $fileatt_type = "text/x-vcard";

    $headers = "FROM: ".$from_mail;

    $data = $content;

    $semi_rand = md5(time());
    $mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";

    $headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
    "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
    " boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

    $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
    "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
    "Content-Type:text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
    "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
    $message . "\n\n";
    $message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
    "Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" .
    " name=\"{$filename}\"\n" .
    "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n" .
    "Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
    " filename=\"{$filename}\"\n\n" .
    $data . "\n\n" .
    "--{$mime_boundary}--\n";
    //echo "sending message";
    mail($mailto, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
