Even aside from speed, the original PinePhone isn't exactly usable if you want to use an XMPP client like this. It gets decent battery life by sleeping, but while it's asleep it'll stop receiving messages via XMPP, which... if that's your primary communication method, is not ideal.
I desperately want to daily drive a Linux phone again, but the current batch just isn't there yet.
- voltagex_ 5y agoCome on now, it hasn't been there since the OpenMoko, even the N900 wasn't great compared to say the N95. I have pretty much given up on the idea of running an "open source phone", unfortunately.

Ubuntu Touch is the only distro that has a mechanism like this, and my understanding is it doesn't run that well on the PinePhone. The rest will wake up for an incoming call or SMS, but otherwise will stay asleep. > Does this also mean that it's not possible to have the phone notify you when you receive an email in sleep mode? Currently, AFAIK, yes.
