Until the PinePhone gets 5Ghz, its unusable for me. I live in an apartment and 2.4Ghz has like 15% packet loss and only has 2Mbps downloads with stuttering and slow loads.

On the flip side, even though I have a 5 GHz capable phone, I always connect to the 2.4 GHz band because the range is better.
I think 5Ghz is the last concern given the primitive status of Linux phones which can barely make a phone call.
True, it's definitely not a daily driver at the moment, but the software will mature.

My friend has one with an ATT sim, and calls+SMS works just fine on postmarketOS. The UI is really sluggish though.
