"WiFi works, no setup required beyond selecting a network and entering the password. Calling works, no setup required beyond installing a SIM card and rebooting. SMS works, no setup required beyond installing a SIM card and rebooting."

Interesting, possibly useful as a daily driver.

I'm curious how the pinephone pro compares, I've been thinking of buying it.

I have it (explorer edition), it's more powerful but right now camera does not work. Has a problem of waking from sleep too.

I've tried different setups eg. Manjaro/KDE (default), Arch/Mobian Phosh. KDE is more like a phone, Phosh is "more stable" and particularly my interest external display which is buggy.

Regarding battery I have now just started to remove them from the phone rather than putting it in Airplane mode because it still dies too fast.

I have Mobian/Phosh running on SD card, see the 6 cores and 4 GB of RAM [1]

I use Tmobile for service cheap sms/call only plan

I don't use it as a daily driver yet, like install an email client and things like that. Was more interested in docked computing as a desktop. I know about Samsung Dex but I'm still onboard for a new OS, I'm particularly annoyed with forced bloat/permission issues (some understandable).
