[Trisquel-users] Pinephone Community Edition

[behmen]

Has anyone yet purchased the community edition of the pinephone? I remember  
seeing Chaosmonk's braveheart review, I haven't really been following  
progress on the phone since March because I figured production lines would be  
halted.

"The preinstalled postmarketOS software build which ships with this edition  
of the PinePhone is an Alpha software build. This effectively mean that while  
core functionality of the PinePhone – such as telephone calls, SMS  
messages, LTE, GPS, GPU acceleration, etc. – is operational, it is also an  
ongoing effort, and thus the device cannot be considered as a consumer-ready  
product."

Would this phone be ok to buy if I have been using Trisquel as my first and  
main GNU/Linux distro a.k.a does sudo apt install work with 'apk tools' also  
are veeery basic things like a Rhythmbox type music player available?

When I see them say "it cannot be considered as a consumer-ready product"  
first thing that comes to mind is battery life, I suppose if you only develop  
programs the phone would be pretty close to a power source whereas a consumer  
would need it to last throughout the day. It seems that most things that make  
a phone--a phone are present I don't really understand what's not consumer  
ready.

If you have ordered and/or received the community edition, please let me  
know, I'm reeeeeeeally on the fence about whether I should hold out further  
or just buy this one.

Thanks!
