Why do you think that Librem 5 is not as usable as PinePhone? I think it is already faster and more stable. Purism works on both software and hardware, so I expect it to become a reliable daily driver faster.

You should be able to find details here: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PinePhone or here: https://xnux.eu/devices/feature/modem-pp...-pinephone.

AFAK no, but see here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=11815.

PineTab is ne less progressed than PinePhone, so I doubt it.

Only Librem 5 allows to do this.
