The main issue with the PinePhone Pro, as I understand it, is that the software is
effectively alpha quality as yet. Another year or two and it should hopefully
be a lot more usable. It can run several different Linux distros as well as Android,
but reliability for phone-specific stuff just isn't there yet.

I've got the PinePhone Pro and it's still
far from being really usable -
although when I have time I'll try to install the newest systems and see
how far it has improved.
I read many months ago about the Pine Phone and was not convinced in anyway
that it is useful either. Let me know what is your experience and share
some use cases. For example can you sync data, how the usual features work,
calendar, alarms, sms, e-mail clients etc.
How does it behave in a car - can you connect and use the phone (HFP)?
can you encrypt the filesystem?
which ECO systems are available?
Can you use clients such as Signal, WhatsApp, Firefox?
