Anyone have a pine phone and running Linux (Ubuntu) as your EDC?

Thinking of buying a cheap phone with new number to see how it goes. Would like to talk and text though.

Any excitement on these new developments and with what is going on with frame works also?

Edit: What phone would you recommend to do it with? Pine phone is med range pricing.

I currently have a GP6a

    IMO the most functional pine64 gadgets are the pinetime and pinebook pro, those you can daily drive. The phones are not ready yet, they are good devices to play with but I wouldn’t use them as a daily driver, you could miss an important text or phone call and you want a reliable phone in case of an emergency. If you just want a cheap phone that doesn’t spy on you I would get a ‘dumb’ phone.
