GNOME Contacts still lacks the option to import/export contacts as VCard files because it uses a dead library written in Vala which nobody has the permission/guts to either rewrite or delete, and frankly I don't want to have more than one app to manage my contacts on a smartphone, especially if the third party one is not well integrated into the system.<p>It's a shame that these mobile developments still haven't really pushed the default apps out of their rut.
Linux phones needs a Steve Jobs. iPhone 1 was a true MVP and shocked the world.<p>Every pine phone distro I tried had lag without being discoverable (no spinning wheel). I don't mind waiting for things but darn it, don't make me question if the thing froze again or is just running some background task before updating the GUI.
> We hope you’re as excited as we are about the current state and foreseeable evolutions of the mobile Linux ecosystem, and wish you all a happy year 2023!<p>The only problem is that we might get too excited :-)
