Pinephone as daily driver
#11
i agree with firefox and daniel.

It is no daily driver as long as it doesnt cover basic phone functions.

The "is it a daily driver" question can only be answered with yes if:
1. Taking / Receiving calls (+Emergency calls when phone is locked/ no sim)
2. Sending / Receiving SMS
3. Sending / Receiving MMS

is working. And dont tell stuff like no one is using sms/mms nowadays now - this may be right - but it is still one of the basic functions a phone needs. E.g. most banks, paypal etc. need sms to work. Period.

The 1B functions needed are
4. carddav synchronisation for contacts
5. calender synchronisation for appointments etc.

Pinephone should not be a small pc at first - but a phone that works. So basic phone functions are the only essential things. Everything else is added bonus.
