I just looked on the website, and it shows 6 new entries, this is up from 2 from a few weeks ago - looks like they are getting ready to start rolling out a number of new "models".
Good news if you ask me.

I'm not sure how many PinePhones you can order at once, I do know that you're not able to combine PinePhones and with other items, there's an issue with the type of batteries installed in the PinePhones.
As for accessories, I ordered a case, the protective glass, as well as the Keyboard. I didn't really need another Keyboard, however, the Keyboard has 2 USB slots in it, as well as I wanted to support the Pine community.
It took 2 to 3 weeks for the accessories to show up here in the US, so they ship them fairly quickly, I suspect it may take a few months to get the PinePhone. One delay is the Chinese New Year, the country basically shuts down for 2 weeks - Think Christmas, New Years, and Thanksgiving, ALL at once for a comparison. So I'm just playing "hurry up and wait".
I have heard that accessories have to be a separate order
The software finally sounds like its at a point where I am willing to jump in.
I haven't visited the accessories for PP page yet. I don't even know what is offered. When I asked, I was thinking along the lines of special cables to ssh, or extra batteries, special power bricks, etc., but am glad to hear that those pieces are also there.
