Has anyone looked at purchasing a pinephone from pine64.org, or considered
doing so?
Aside from the usual features I am curions whether the support of mobile
communications protocols is sufficiently broad to assume it would be
supported by AT&T (which is the carrier for which RedPocket is the lower
cost front end).

It would be nice to not be tracked by Google.
This is not the phone you are looking for.
"Before anyone gets too excited, we need to make something clear—these
devices, while attractively priced, should be considered beta gadgets
for tinkerers to experiment and play with. They are not yet fully
functional phones, and in their current development status, they are
unlikely to be anyone's full-time daily-usage smartphone. The apps don't
all work yet—including making calls—and battery life still leaves a lot
to be desired."
