People (contacts app) - cannot delete contacts

I feel you, but look at the bright side, you are one of the lucky ones, some of us received bricked phones from the start. We all knew that it will be in a state that requires big improvements, it’s a community phone. Let’s try together to improve it. You did already your part, to report the bugs. Let’s give them some time. I know is hard, cause looking back, there are still bugs since ever, never solved. As @explicit mentioned they are a small company with small company mentality. As soon as there will be a functional Linux alternative they will lose also the few fans/customers that they still have. Let’s wait for the moment.
