If you get a buzz-fixed Freerunner then it should work fine as a daily phone, at least with one of the official images (e.g. OM2009 works fine as a phone if you regularly delete SMS messages). As an actual smartphone it is less impressive, as setting up wireless, bluetooth and other stuff can be tiresome on most distros. I currently use a Freerunner with Debian and E17 with econnman (the last two I had to compile from source which took a while). It is acceptable as a basic tablet and SIP phone. Wireless connectivity isn't great though (its reception is poor and it disconnects from home router which runs OpenWRT every few hours).
