Indeed. As a customer, if I want to know how to get in contact with someone at a later date, the quickest and most convenient way to obtain that information is still to ask for a business card.

Noting down an email address and making sure you've spelled it properly takes time, something that is not always available during a brief meeting in a public space.

What does baffle me is that phone manufacturers have never been able to turn vcard exchanges into something instantaneous and convenient. There's usually always some form of handshake that involves navigating convoluted menus, or else leaving your phone perpetually discoverable and hence open to spamming or worse (for that reason, many devices don't allow this full stop).
