Hi,
not a UK user, but the Postmarket OS edition is supposed to fix the annoying USB-bug the UBports CE (which I have) suffers from.
Phone calls do work, although they do not work on every distribution for everyone. It is early days, but my problems with receiving calls (which I had since power management had been improved) were fixed in Arch Linux ARM (outgoing calls worked all the time). Call audio quality is however not exactly "high definition audio" and feels more like "the bad old days".
If you can afford to switch back to another Phone in case of "broken PinePhone" and are generally enthusiastic about this Linux phone thing, then please get one. If you're not willing to tinker and can't live with something being broken every once in a while, you might better wait.
Cheers,
Peter
