@CiberSheep very good E5 yet !

It is a position of frustration. Frustration that we know these things would make it more likely for your average Joe to buy the phone, but knowing that we can only promise what the device is right now, not what it could be if only we did something different. So maybe it isn't right for the average Joe, but it's right for us. And we'll keep making it better.

This! This! A hundredfold this!

@PINE64 I have the intention to buy one too but when I look at the system monitor of my Xx with SFOS I think I will wait if there will be a 3gb Version. I think at least 1gb of ram more would be good.

Furthermore, I think the comment about people are not willing to let go their Android/iOS phones is not really fair.

I will buy one for two main reason. First I want to support the project. Second I just want to try out some OSes. But for me its not usable as daily driver. I need e.g. Threema and WhatsApp. All this discussion about android on the pinephone shows, that I am not the only one who needs one or two android apps on his phone. Another issue for me is the camera. The camera doesn't need to have 9 trillion megapixel but 5/2 is nowadays not much. 16/5 or 24/13 with a good sensor and camera app would be fine for me.

At the end I see in the Pinephone more a device for devs and to play around but I really do hope that someday I can use a pinephone as daily driver .

I definately will buy a pinephone in March. I have been using the Aquaris E5 and N5 for years now as my daily driver. They have never let me down so far. Yes I need "line", "skype" and "whatsapp" on the phone but that is ,sort of, promised for sometime this year. Ubports may be the most important project for Linux.

I am one of the PinePhone BraveHeart customers and ordered the phone only to have a complete Linux phone.
It will not replace my current Android phone, because among other things the WhatsApp or the Android app support is missing at UBports.
A "PinePhone Pro" with strong hardware and a working Anbox with UBports would definitely become my daily driver. Actually I only need 2-3 Android apps like many others, everything else works fine natively in UBports.
For that I would definitely spend more money like only 150 dollars.

I'm looking forward many many years from now. I'll be selling my Braveheart edition to Pawn Stars

@Flohack hm, I thought /e/ was going to be available on the PinePhone. But now that I think about it, I probably imagined it, as I can't remember a place where I could have read it

Since some people started receiving their devices already, I am posting this here for you guys, so you can get the most out of your PinePhone BH experience at this time: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8923

I ran UT all day today, and here's the battery life with current optimizations (or rather lack thereof):
With light to moderate usage the phone's battery lasts approx 6-7hours.
