Dotan Cohen filed a request about not including the new address book because 
it is not feature complete. (Some fields, like birthdays, are lost in the 
upgrade)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/507990

Also, I'm using a Kolab server, and the kolabwizard does not work with the new 
address book. You have to find out how to add your address books yourself. 
Documentation about that is nowhere to be found yet. This is my major 
complaint about a lot of software in Ubuntu nowadays. There is a fast 
development (no complaints there), but documentation is lacking and the 
software is released while still having beta quality.

Also, I hope that the upgrade process will be reviewed for Lucid. Look at all 
the reports about Akonadi not starting, or starting with errors.

BTW, Akonadi Sources in System Settings? How did you put it back there?
