Contact list no longer available in new Teams version

When new teams go live, can I keep using the old version? The new version only has a chat list and no contact list. I regularly use my contact list to determine if someone is in the office. ...

We have just started to migrate staff to move over to the New Teams. In the past couple have days we've realised that this no longer functions. I'm rather bemused how the IM app capable of making phone calls does not sync contacts stored in the mailbox.
Is there a user voice open for this, I would vote for it!

RobClarke I think https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/def1af78-c56d-ee11-a81c-0022484e5453 is the right place, isn't it?
I miss this feature too 😞

  I have noticed however, that the People App integration seems to be getting better. You no longer need to click each individual contact in sequence to check their status. Status can now be quickly viewed, by scrolling your list of contacts. However, clicking the contact, provides more details and probably ensures the status is most current.
  
  The latest version it’s much closer to what was available in the traditional Contacts List from the old Chat menu. It's pretty close to providing the same info now and in the same format, as it was originally, at least from my perspective.

    abesso Can you share a screenshot of your Teams version and the People app showing status?
    
    I have what Teams is saying is the latest version
    
    However the "People" app has no status information (unless I click to open the contact)
