But there seem to be quite a lot of people being disappointed because they don’t even seem to get their phone at all, unless it is made in the US. I’m always keep on stumbling upon this entire topic, and right now I think that I actually want to try it out, even if the battery only lasts for 3hrs. Due to the modular construction it should be switchable with ease, no?librem 5 has a lead time 52 weeks and price tag 1300$. librem5 design is different than pinephone, some are better like bigger battery and some are not. generally speaking i would go for pinephone models, and they are even cheaper. librem5's modem is detachable, which might be an advantage in some cases.
pinephone's battery is not easily switchable, i mean without reboot and removing back cover.

Generally, I’m fine with spending time on troubleshooting as it is somewhat engaging, but I simply can’t bear idling due to hardware performance but otherwise flawless functionality. So in these contexts, is it advisable to get the pp or is it better to wait for pp pro to become more adapted to casual use?depends on your budget. some can go with both models. but i would still suggest cheaper model, because possible disappointment would be lower, and you get the idea of pinephone from cheaper model anyway.
