PinePhone
-
@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

@Marathon2422 Yes, most phones shipping to EU and North America have left the factory.
Confirmation e-mails are in progress and planned during this week.
Delivery is expected within 12 days for EU and within 18 days for North America.
[Edit] Still waiting the email, but I don't care as long as I get the phone this month

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. -
