Exactly. If you want something running a Unix-OS that is idiot proof, get an iPhone or Android device.

That you did not read this before you bought the pinephone is 100% your fault. This never claimed to be user-ready, and if you need a functional phone, of course right now it is cheaper and more practical to get a used phone for which software support has had more time to be perfected by the community.

The fact that Pine is offering an 85% refund is actually pretty good, @dooblewoops should take the offer. Either that or sell it to the community (although I don't know if anybody else will want to deal with them after what has been written above).

Yeah, that's exactly why they are so cheap. They keep comparing a brand new open-source PinePhone to a second-hand closed-source Samsung, meaning they are entirely missing the point of the PinePhone.
