Recently bought a pinephone on preorder , there was a mixup with initial shipping and an extra 30 dollar charge from DHL. it arrived at canadapost to my P.O box, after unboxing the boxed version needed updates still so i opened the terminal app and connected a USBC type hub with HDMI and USB port for network adapter and wireless mini keyboard. ran “sudo pacman -Syyu and waited all night for it to finish maybe servers were just slow from demand but 50 – 70 kb\/s was all I had gotten.<\/p>\n

I had an old sim card around i tried using first but nothing showed up under settings \/ simcard so i used the one from working phone and was able to make calls and send messages. MMS still have some work to be done according to developers.<\/p>\n

the only drawbacks sofar are battery life and the camera but I’m sure that will get better with time. ( also there are other distro’s to try that use less power than kde aswell.<\/p>\n

its possible to send mms messages from shell script link soon<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

after updating the phone feel is well polished , battery management seems fine and the app\/game widget selection in the app called Discover are great(pacman selections)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n

after trying the multiboot image , ive found ubuntu touch to be the most energy efficient, in 12 hours it only dropped the battery 20% so its comparable to android somewhat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

ubuntu touch is working with sound and microphone and camera now. case was from dollar store fit good only had to trim around camera and on button<\/p>\n
