When can we get PIM functionality on par with N9

I'm surprised not to see more requests for this, but to me the PIM (Contacts, Calender,Mail) functionality seems to one of the most neglected features of the Jolla. Except for Mail, the others are really not usable as a business app.

Calender : If you open the calender you see the calender sheet but absolutely no clue as to month and year. You even have to pull down to see which day of the week is on which column. This gets really annoying after you have flicked left/right a few times, been briefly distracted an now have no clue what month you are look at. How about another active item below 'today' (or even a pulley item) where you can quickly select a year and month. My use case? I provide trainings. Sometimes I have to plan this half a year in advance ...

Contacts: OK this has improved slightly with the last release. At least my screwed up random aliases for entries without first/last names (e.g. restaurants, pubs, barbers, companies .....) is now fixed. But it does not sync automatically with Microsoft Exchange (Zaraffa). I left it on my desk all day today and not a single resync. I can't even find a way to do a manual resync. A typical use case for me is to enter a new contact in my Zarafa web interface, sync the phone and then head out to a customer.

Rumour has it some of the Jolla guys/girls worked on the N9. I am still using this, this is the absolute reference design. Please, please get these fundamental smart-phone apps usable as soon as possible. You've done it before!

I for one couldn't care less about the Android apps. I will never use them. If I had wanted an Android phone I would have bought a Samsung or whatever. What I wanted was a worthy heir to the N9. I realise Android support is probably a good sales argument but it's frustrating to see all effort going here with more fundamental issues being neglected.
