New PinePhone Ready for Newbies?
#10
It seems to me that you aren't taking much of a risk if you order now. You can try it out, and if it doesn't have enough functionality for you to enjoy playing with it, then put it in a drawer and try it again in 3, 6, 12, 18 months as the software gets better and better. At this point, I think they have fixed all the critical hardware bugs, that would prevent you from using the phone. Maybe wait for the Manjaro version just to make sure, but at this point, most everything is going to be fixed in software, so you might as well order now.

The PinePhone is cheap enough that even if it doesn't work out as your daily phone, you can use it as a neat mini-computer or a handheld web browser or a toy for tinkering or simply an excuse for learning Linux better. It is very cheap entertainment.
