Is there a way to acces/query contacts from command line? I know that's a hackish question ;)

Yes, there's contacts-tool, note that you need to be privileged user in order to read the database(devel-su -p )

Cheers! But I thing the sqlite way best matches what I'm planning to do.

Yes.

From terminal:

devel-su -p
sqlite3 /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Contacts/qtcontacts-sqlite/contacts.db "select * from contacts;"

almost perfect, but no phone numbers.

Well you can do something like this:

sqlite3 /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Contacts/qtcontacts-sqlite/contacts.db "select * from phonenumbers where contactId=38;"

and that contactId is the first column from contacts-table (select * from contacts;).

Oh, sweet! Didn't realized it was a more complex data structure! Cheers for that mate!
