You've got valid points regarding the Linux usability aspect and kernel updates (I'm not exactly sure what Graphene does regarding kernels). But in such a context wouldn't it be more useful to say have a dumb phone and a separate laptop/tablet running Linux?

I'm just playing the devil's advocate/trying to understand why someone would actually use it. And yes if desktop Linux gets big that'll certainly make this entire comment seem stupid (which would be pretty nice:)

For around the house/office, a two (or more) device solution is fine for many. But when you're truly mobile people generally want to minimize the number of devices they have to deal with. For most Linux users, including myself, we're not there yet but the day is getting closer.

What is this 'if' of which you speak? I've been using Linux as my daily driver desktop for over a decade ;-) It's not likely to ever become a mainstream desktop, nor are these Linux phones, but there are a fair number of us who don't care if they do or not. We just want them for ourselves.
