I pre-ordered a braveheart and cannot wait to start contributing code to make mobile Linux more usable! Of course it's not the right phone for many people yet, but what the Pinephone symbolizes is the first affordable and (hopefully) widely available Linux phone. What made me pull the trigger is that, unlike others such as Librem, Pine64 seems to be taking a similar approach to the Raspberry Pi. Instead of reinventing the wheel and forcing users into custom software like Librem has done with Phosh, Pine64 is building a launchpad for existing projects such as PostmarketOS, Plasma Mobile, Manjaro ARM, UBports, and others to grow their visions. If you build it, they will come (and hopefully submit pull requests)!
