i daily drived before (2021 and before) and not anymore (2022 and 2023)
I daily drove a PP Braveheart from March 2020 until my PPP Explorer came December 2021, then PPP from then until February 2022, when I gave up on the PPPs instability as an actualy phone (missed calls, VZ's desire to make MMS a pain, having to wear a wired earpiece for calls because BT never worked over modem for me). I then went back to PP until June 2022, and while I appreciated the stability compared to the PPP (VZ and BT calling issues aside), hardware-wise it was a disappointment compared to my PPP even if the PPP only reliably performed its functions as a phone 85% of the time. DanctNIX Arch the entire 2+ years. Ultimately the Pixel's built in spam-call screening, android auto functionality, and BT calling lured my back to android.
I never had a battery issue with my PP, no worse than android and with a spare battery even easier to remedy. As for PPP battery... I had the keyboard on 24/7 from the day Pine released it and carried that whole brick around. PPP is a great mini linux tablet, but a disappointing phone. PP was a more than acceptable phone, but the PPP hardware spoiled me and I couldn't go back to evaluating whether I really wanted to wait 30+ seconds every time I thought about opening an app or doing anything outside of the terminal.
I would still buy a PP3 if they ever release one.
