I must say that the two answers here that don’t care about security patches because they aren’t using the PinePhone as an actual smartphone, are using the PinePhone in rather odd ways for which better alternatives exist.Reason: this is for my 2nd internet connection, so it's not important to be stable.
More details: I've maxed out my budget for "random technology which solve small problems". I've already paid for the PinePhone (2 times - braveheart and 1.2b) and I've send some donations to megi for his work, but that's the only useful thing this general computer can do for me. Otherwise I would consider it ewaste and throw it away. I've returned to use a popular smartphone with only the stock applications, Now I'm able to deal with email, an important internet site (a lot faster than the PPs Cortex-A53), audio over bluetooth and have a working phone (the PP previously had issues with both call audio and modem disconnecting until I've re-entered SIM pin).
I'm still fantasizing about the PP turning into a pocket scientific/graphing calculator, but someone has to put the hours into making it work. Standard GNU/Linux programs have many issues when used with a small touchscreen.
