Hello everybody,
This is my first post, I am new on the forum.
I am a years long linux user on a daily basis, but I have not yet tried a real linux-based phone, that is why I have ordered the latest CE of the PinePhone (ships with Manjaro pre-installed, I have chosen the 3GB version), I am in Europe and I hope that soon I will be getting a shipping notification :-)
One question that I could not find a reliable (or more precisely "recent" answer) on the forum:
Is the latest PinePhone CE with the latest version of Manjaro (incl. Posh), can be described as a release of a relatively stable device at least for calls, SMS, and wifi / LTE connectivity ?
I mean, I am capable of fiddling with software configuration, research some issues to find solutions etc.. but how about a semi-solid hardware + software combi? something that we could say that ok Voice calls, SMS and connectivity works seamlessly out of the box, and the rest is in constant development.
if not, what are the current open issues, and what further efforts needs to be made to get the device into such positioning?
I would love to drop my iPhone and use the PinePhone as my one and only mobile phone.
Any input will be much appreciated, I am a PinePhone Starter :-)
