I had a similar experience. Couldn't import a single large vcf containing about 166 contacts (with avatars etc.), but could import 26 separate files if I joined all the a*.vcf >a.vcf, b*.vcf > b.vcf etc. Importing the 26 small vcf files went like clockwork. No idea why the large file wouldn't import considering it contained exactly the same data. My method for transferring the vcf files was to email them to myself and open the email attachment on the Jolla.

I've now sent my large vcf file to w00t so hopefully Jolla can work out what the problem is and fix it because it's rather frustrating.
