I had problems importing contacts. On my previous phone I exported my contacts to both my SIM card and SD card.
On the PinePhone, I used the contacts app to import contacts. It said that there were no contacts on the SIM card - and the google import just span around. I looked at the vcf file and imported a few by hand, but since I had hundreds of contacts I stopped.
Today, I managed to import all of my contacts :-)
I used a terminal, typed 'sudo su' with my screenlock password to get a root shell.
Then 'lsblk' to find the name of my devices and then 'mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mt' to get access to the sdcard.
I then used the file manager app to view /mnt, then double-click the .vcf file, and choose open with 'Contacts' which then imported all!
Hope this helps someone.
