Hi,

There are no option to sync contact for a human being form the Contacts apps, from a backup file (xml,vcf,…?). This need comes from that many users of Ubuntu might be moving from Android or other famous OS on phone; these OS not always give the option to sync contact on SIM, and syncing them on SDCARD might not be the easier/most logic way to do so; so Ubuntu (address-book-app) should provide a way to import these contact using account provided by these OS (such as Google account).

Steps :

 * Launch contacts
 * no option to sync, import/export contact are found on the interface (only a search option and a + option)
 * swipe from down to access the + menu, users might expect to add manually contact here, no more option like importing contacts from account.
 * To be sure I checked in the system settings, no import option found there

User should be able to add contact from his contact from an online account (no one want to import hundreds of contacts manually).
