I had to manually install both, together with other components for Kontact. Copying your addressbook across as you did is no problem. The applications are totally compatible. The 'hype' you talked about would be about akonadi (see userbase, for more info). Once that technology matures the storage database will be available to any application that wants to use it - but it's not there yet.
