I got a PinePhone and the experience was pretty poor compared to everything else, I never ended up using it as a phone.
But it's still cool, and I'm happy I bought it, and I think that later in the future an OSS phone is going to be amazing.
However my unusual use case was that I want my phone to also be my 'computer', e.g. I arrive at work, plug my phone into the USB-C of the monitor that already has a keyboard, mouse and ethernet attached, and I get to work.
I already use linux day to day at work with an ASUS PN50 4500U and it's awesome.
