I worked with development hardware before of game consoles before they came out, or even Android 12 years ago.
They were always very buggy at the beginning.
In the case of consoles, commercially released software never worked on them, but that was by design.
The PinePhone description also mentions that "This effectively mean that while core functionality of the PinePhone – such as telephone calls, SMS messages, LTE, GPS, GPU acceleration, etc. – [i]is[/i] operational, it is also an ongoing effort".
I'm not a native English speaker, my native language doesn't even come close to any western language, but I do understand that it means that calls, SMS, etc. can be used, but it's not guaranteed to 100% work.

was already on the shop page for the postmarketOS batch of phones.
It does not depend on your native language knowledge or the context - It was and still is just plain wrong an misleading.
Be careful with such complaints! I was down voted by a gang of three PinePhone enthusiasts, got blocked and mistreated by mods etc. which would have made me resign. (But already in 1291 Wilhelm Tell in Switzerland was not ready to surrender...)
