PINEPHONE - a Linux smartphone that shows promise

With my PH-1 end-of-life, my next smartphone may very well be the $149 PINEPHONE, a Linux-based smartphone that ditches the corporate-monitoring-bloatware that plagues iOS and Android.  The UBports UI looks very promising and I'm a big fan of Ubuntu.  You can also purchase a beta case or a retail hard shell case will be available for sale soon.

UPDATE: I received my PinePhone this week and it's super disappointing -- no charger included, slow charging speed, WiFi doesn't work, camera doesn't work, ...basically a $150 paperweight  :(
