Yes, I'd also suggest just creating an SD-card with SailfishOS and putting it into the PinePhone whenever you want to play around with it. If you want to go back to your Ubuntu Touch, then shut the phone down and take the SD-card out. It's as easy as that. SailfishOS runs really well from the SD card already.
Things that don't work (so well):
- web browser(s): you will need to use/install Webcat or WebPirate, but the experience still sucks...
- modem/SIM-card: should be supported under the hood / via cli but not yet in the GUI
- sound: strange crackles after/while playing any sound. Also, the volume can't really be adjusted (?)
- automatic brightness (don't you dare switch that on, you'll regret it), same as very low manual brightness settings
- camera(s)
BUT:
- Double-tap to wake works (yay!!)
- You can install pretty much anything from OpenRepos without problems
- Thus, Depecher works very well for Telegram
- the UI feels snappy, doesn't lag and looks crisp (something I don't quite find for Ubuntu Touch)
