I got a PinePhone, and I am a major advocate of FOSS. I purchased the phone primarily to monitor linux mobile development as it progresses.
As someone who needs to use maps a lot, this phone is not daily driver ready. It's also a terrible experience for web-browsing and taking photos.
That being said, I love the pinephone, not because of it's usability, but because of potential. SSHing into my phone and having my familiar linux filesystems and programs is a dream come true. It's truly incredible how far they've come with development on the hardware and driver side. The hardest problems are largely solved, and they are shipping devices to the community in hopes of fostering people to work on the remaining software problems and improving performance on the software side. I think Pine64 and the Pinephone's contributions to Linux on mobile are enormous, even if they aren't perfect, and we are better off for having them.
