You're saying the PinePhone is a daily driver before you've tried it?

I just got mine and it is significantly buggier, crashier, and slower than expected. The USB C port is also of low quality. It is overall worse quality than expected.

Yeah, I was excited to try to daily drive a Pinephone expecting it to be "a bit buggier" that a regular phone, but it's still a long way to go once I got it.

Based on other reported experiences which may be inconsistent.

I have had the PinePhone devkit for a long time now and while I am very invested in the project and like to see this optimism, I can tell you that it's definitely not ready to be a daily driver yet.

It's coming along fine though and in a few years that might be true! For now, a great device for tinkering and contributing back.

The brick wall I noticed was MS Outlook and Teams on Android didnt let me copy paste text to any non-MS app, other apps just got a plaintext error message. To open any link, I had to install Edge for Android. The phone also has policies enforced by MS Intune. How will a new player break into this market?

This is on a phone managed by your employer I assume? Intune protects the data in your employee accounts from leaking outside of those apps. In a regular Outlook without Intune installed you can copy/paste just fine.

Source: I've used the Outlook app before my phone was enrolled with my company so I noticed the differences :).

Fellow Q10 fan here. Only switched to Android for my usual apps because the BB app store is crappy. Else it could run most Android apps, simply by installing the apks.

I miss my Passport!

If you don't mind hacking around and a bit of Jank, you can get the Lineage GSI working on the UniHertz Titan.

Still Android, but you keep the HW Kepboard and the batterylife and build on it is insane. Not nearly as clean as stock or the Key2, but much more freedom respecting.
