UBports on pine phone?

[gregb49]

But Kevin Kofler I believe that it is a useful discussion because you have made many good points.

I bought a PPhone and a PineTab2 on the basis that I had used Pine64 SBCs in the past and found them very good. They came with basic but functioning software and innovative design features and left others to build more fancy OSs. Therefore I expected basic but functioning software with the other products but do appreciate what you say in that FOSS drivers do not exist for these more complex products.

I feel the shortcomings should be made clearer to the prospective purchaser. It is in Pine64's interest to do so, as it pushes the boundaries forward.  For instance, I wasn't concerned that the camera didn't yet work on the PineTab2 and that was made clear. I would not have bought it if I had known that the WiFi did not work even though it is a very nice Linux tablet in all other respects.

I know that such posts as this are seen, sadly, as just whinging, but I feel they are helpful. Some great work is being done by developers, but we should not be scared of airing shortcomings. I just wish I was competent enough to assist apart from trying out things. I shall continue to play with other OSs for my PinePhone until, one day, I feel it is safe enough to use without missing calls and texts.
