How to share contact including photo between iPhones?

Question

I tried iMessage and e-mailing a vCard, but neither method transfers the contact along with their photo between an iP5 and an iP4.
What is the correct method?

Answer 1

True, but of course, they may not already have a photo if they don't have the contact info. I'd say that was more likly the case.
My wife, for instance, doesn't keep photos of all of our friends on her phone, but does sometimes need a copy of the contact info I have.
I imagine that mostly, the photo would be useful and if the recipient of the contact info does indeed have their own photo, they can substitute it easily.
Less easy however, by quite some way, is the need to use a photo received by e-mail separately, because you also can't copy/paste an image from an e-mail into a contact.
You need to save the image into the Camera Roll and then choose it from within the Contacts app.
Also, who's to say the sender of the contact info actually has the image to send by e-mail in the first place? Often the one attached to the contact is the only version on the phone.
Contact Sharing is supposed to be very simple and this missing function makes it a more complex procedure IMHO.
Don't get me wrong, I love my iP5 (I don't sleep with it or anything), as I did the iP4 before that and the iP3GS before that, but this missing feature is a real shame considering the cost of these devices and their otherwise excellent "ease of use".
I must admit, I do find it quite interesting on here that no matter how poor an implimentation is on the iPhone, everyone is extremely protective of Apple, to the point of coming up with half reasons for a simple feature not to exist.
I shall feed back to Apple.
