      @Lakotaubp There will indeed be a huge wave of new users once PinePhone is generally released.
      But I think many of those people expects a traditional linux OS and many will complain about UBports being "limited" and might go to other OS.
      But in any case, this will be big for UT and I'm pretty we'll still get legit happy new users πŸ™‚

      And I'm about to be brave with a heart and buy a PinePhone πŸ˜ƒ

        I wonder where the PinePhone will ship from. I'm planning to have it ship to New York but I'm worried about any additional fees/taxes. It's a 3rd party courier so it's not allowed. @PINE64 Would you know?

          @kugiigi When I ordered mine, the shipping price was added to my shopping cart.
          But regarding the taxes, they'll be requested by US customs and you'll have to pay when fetching your package.

          I'm not a US citizen so I don't have the specifics but it's common all around the globe πŸ˜‰

                Yes, taxes will be probably around 10% so 15$
                But in case of the PinePhone, taxes are not taken at source they explicitly notice that they can be expected on delivery.

                      @kugiigi all PinePhones will ship from Hong Kong; NOT mainland China.

                        In the past, imported electronic devices arrive, and then a while later (1+ week or so) a note from the USA Federal people arrives with a bill for your imported device. My memory is more than 10%, but it was a while ago. YMMV.

                          @PINE64 Thanks, I just have it shipped directly here in the Philippines πŸ™‚
                          Hopefully, not much taxes πŸ˜ƒ
                          Excited to play with it and perhaps become my main driver eventually.

                              Nah, I told him I'm rich, so no tax and I can deduct the price. πŸ™‚

                                Is it feasible, for ubports installer to be set up to install ubports on the pinephone.
                                If its possible ,surely many would opt for this β€œ easy way ” and then many would keep
                                ubports as their base β€œOS” with the option to β€œplay” from the sdcard.
                                just a thought,( but i guess you are doing that already).

                                  I would assume that is the plan, but I doubt it will happen until the port is past initial testing.

                                      Will the pinephone support miracast? Would be a cool feature! (Of course this phone will be amazing without it as well πŸ™‚ )

                                          Was actually just watching that and came to this thread to post it here. But it's okay if you beat me in posting your own video, I don't mind. πŸ˜‰

                                          Thanks as always for the great info.

                                            @PINE64 where can I read about support of the PinePhone in mainline Linux kernel? How many patches / out-of-tree are out there, can you confirm that your goal is to run on a stock linux kernel?
