          I’m waiting for OTA 13 for UT to become my daily driver phone as I need Bluetooth in car as well as sign on to my google account and sync it with my calendar. Those 2 features should indeed be fixed in OTA 13.

          Redmi Note 9S Stable

            Nexus 5 as daily driver with UT's RC channel for about 6 months. Satisfied 'customer' so far. Back when Canonical still developed Ubuntu Touch, I played with the idea of buying the first UT phone: BQ Aquaris E4.5 (2015), but eventually didn't. I'm glad to have finally boarded the UT train now 🙂

            Regular user, UT since 2020, Now: Volla Phone (20.04 Stable)

                  After installing UT on a spare device, I put my SIM into the phone to try it out for a week or so. I think that's two months ago now. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
                  I'm using a OnePlus One.

                  Is currently using an Op5t
                  Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

                            Ubuntu Touch has been running on my daily driver for almost 2 years now - first with a OnePlus One, and now with a Meizu Pro 5.

                              @augustblake using UT since 2018. First on N5 now on FP2 and PinePhone. N5 and FP2 are - for my use case - daily driver ready except for the bluetooth issue with most car audio systems (not being able to take and answer calls hands-free), so for me this are the 10% missing. PinePhone for me, has quite a way to go to become daily driver ready.

                                I'm a daily user of UT since 2016. First an BQ Acquaris E5 (model from memory), then a Nexus 5 and now an OPO. The OPO's bluetooth can send and receive phone calls from my car right now.

                                Only thing missing is some apps that my municipality only provides in Google Play and Apple store, with Google location services or else it doesn't work, really sad for a public institution.

                                    I have been using UT on my daily phone (not only) since September 2015. First a BQ E4.5, now a BQ E5 HD (old but very stable and reliable) but it will change..
                                    Very happy with UT.

                                      @wgarcia Bluetooth reliability in car kits should be mostly improved, if not fixed, in OTA 13 🤞

                                          Daily driver since 2015 (BQ E4.5, E5, OPO and now the 3t).
                                          Well currently I use lineageOS because of ThreemaWork (since covid19) until I get an IPhone for work.

                                            I have been using UT since 2018 as my daily driver. The first phone is/was the Nexus 5. Now I have a Nexus 6P too and it's the daily driver for the moment. I also have a Pinephone but it's not stable enough for the time being 🙂

                                            4 Google Pixel 3A
                                            1 Google Nexus 6P
                                            2 Google Nexus 5
                                            2 Pinephones
                                            2 Sony Xperia X

                                              @augustblake Don´t have a long history (only 6 weeks) but I´m fine with my VollaPhone/GigaSet on UT and it is getting even better every day.
                                              Many thanks to all of you out there. You are doing an awesome job!
