@PINE64 thanks a lot for clarifying

When will the PinePhone be added to the ubports installer? Will it be in for the braveheart batch, or not until the stable release?
-
@B2288 That will happen very late, as currently we do not have final dev builds. But we will keep you posted

This is mostly a novelty video, but its really fun to watch - PinePhone prototype assembly from A-to-Z

"Some performance improvement later and Lima and unity8 is really staring to become buttery smooth!"

PinePhone will be my next daily driver!
Anyway, I wonder if it's running the latest codes from the edge channel. I see the system indicator still having the user list.

@kugiigi You and many more I think. Me included.
-
@kugiigi yeah, mine too!

is it right to assume that the PinePhone, being a Linux phone, won't need Libertine to run Xorg apps?

No. It is "more" of a Linux phone than others that run some (old, forked) version of the Linux kernel in the sense that it runs a recent upstream version of the Linux kernel.
Everything that happens on top of the kernel is up to the distro you run. In the case of Ubuntu Touch, it will be Mir and Libertine. If you run Plasma, Lune, Postmarket, something else it will be whatever that distro provides

Thanks for that, @doniks -

Thanks for posting. Indeed we'll start taking pre-orders for Brave heart edition PinePhone this month. I am happy to report that Ubuntu Touch is already very well supported on the PinePhone, but I would be cautious in calling it 'daily-driver'- worthy yet.
In other words, please be mindful that this is indeed for early adopters ...

Great news! Made an initial update to the OP with the order date. Will update more details when I have more time later and will update the PineTime thread's OP too. Exciting stuff!

I didn't see a ton to add aside from the initial order date of the Brave Heart release, but that's very good news indeed.
@PINE64 any idea yet (sorry if I missed it) of how long the Brave Heart window will be open and how many orders you'll be able to take?
-
@trainailleur they will produce a fixed quantity of phones: 3000
-
And I'd expect them to be snapped up fairly quickly, @mymike @trainailleur!!
