Some notes from a Pinephone owner:

Wondering if the thoughts in this thread factor in the Pinephone Pro yet or no? I am looking to get one of those eventually. I think it just started doing pre-orders.

I got a second basic text/call line for my Pinephone but I don't use it as a phone right now. The modem is finicky when it works, seems to need a certain battery charge (like near full). I also have to restart it several times to get the modem to work. I'm using Mobian/Phosh. I'm not 100% a fan of the Phosh look/how it works multi-task wise but it does work out of the box more than a couple other "front ends" I tried. KDE Plasma was pretty but I couldn't just plug in an external monitor and have it work. Overall I like the idea of the phone/want to learn to develop for it. Unfortunately my screen is falling apart/peeling near the top edges. Also the battery even in airplane mode will die within a day or so.

What was neat was running ARM VS Code but it was slow as hell eg. 5 second click lag.

Here's a mini rant. Samsung Galaxy Buds. Bluetooth Headphones. I had to accept/enable like 10+ permissions just so I could turn off the default equalizer that makes everything sound bassy. That is annoying.

I can't deny that my $300 Android phone I'm using now would run circles around Pinephone Pro but I still look forward to that idea one day.
