Sold my Pinephone
#1
Greetings, 
                So I finally sold my PinePhone as I just couldn't live with trying to use it as a phone. As a device it's been great to play around with but as a phone it just didn't work out at all IMO.

I've read post on here of people saying they use it and well, good for them, if it works for you then great. However I tried Mobian and Manjaro Phosh but they just didn't work well enough for me. When I was out and about it would just go to answer phone if somebody called. If it did manage a call then when it switched from 4g to 3g it would just go silent and I would have to end the call, if I locked it to one then it would just go to answer phone again.

These problems and the terrible battery life meant I could not live with it. 

I love the idea of a real Linux phone though and would be willing to pay quite a bit more if somebody comes up with something better in the future. Kept my PineTime as apart from a few lines it has developed on the screen and the fact that it sometimes wont do anything when I press the button to active it for a while (usually works if I place it on it's charger) then I am more than happy with it for the price!

Happy to have supported the project and I let the phone go for cheap to give somebody else a chance.
