> Last I checked, running their software platform on affordable used third-party hardware, as entry points for large numbers of principled techies (like Linux was), wasn't yet viable.

It seems you've just described Pinephone, which runs Phosh quite well and is quite affordable.

Do you know whether this is solid as a daily driver in the US?

I'm thinking the minimal: Reliable phone calls including VoLTE, reliable SMS and MMS, working data, poor but working camera, no crashes/lockups, OK battery life, etc.

(A few years ago, my Pinephone nth-version developer edition was interesting, but none of the software I tried was ready at the time.)

It should be sufficient for your needs. Try postmarketOS with Phosh (easy to use) or SXMo (snappier).
