PinePhone
-
I am in USA, so far no taxes,( on delivery)but I have had stuff diverted to be inspected
-
@kugiigi
taxes taken at source for a umidigi phone thru Aliexpress was $17 ,on $ 177 phone shipping to usa -
@Marathon2422
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. -
@AppLee
A new Aliexpress policy, doing it at source.
but gives an idea what to expect,no nasty surprizes -
This post is deleted! -
@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
Hopefully, not much taxes
Excited to play with it and perhaps become my main driver eventually. -
@vandys Maybe with the crazy dude in office now its 25%.

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 “ easy way ” and then many would keep
ubports as their base “OS” with the option to “play” from the sdcard.
just a thought,( but i guess you are doing that already). -
@Marathon2422
I would assume that is the plan, but I doubt it will happen until the port is past initial testing. -
This is quite informative
-
Will the pinephone support miracast? Would be a cool feature! (Of course this phone will be amazing without it as well
) -

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.
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?

I saw a comment on Reddit, someone saying ,braveheart shipping beginning of January , about the third week of January for deliverys.... Phew
Hope it's sooner than that. -
A quick phone call with @mariogrip
-
@Fla Think most 'general' - no OS specific - contributions go here
@Marathon2422 Thats about right, Brave Heart units will likely start shipping beginning of January.
