Is the pine phone usable / comparable to an iPhone now (maybe not image quality), but for msging, video calls, internet and basic social media apps?
Are there any clips of people using them with a docking station?
basically, no.
you get roughly 4 hours battery life without suspend and one day with suspend. if you use the phone it's less of course. maybe basics work like messages and audio calls, but social media apps are problematic. basic internet browsing works though. for video calls, i would forget, but may depend on a app and protocol.
you asking pp pro, pp pro has more software problems than pp regular. pp regular is enough usable for basics.
i haven't used docking station for awhile, because keyboard case basically disables phone's usb port. if keyboard case is connected, using phone's usb port may damage circuits because of bi-directional currents.
