Based on many reviews, I've determined the PinePhone is
-Missing a "killer app"
-Not reliable in an emergency.
-Near the UI experience of a much older Android or iPhone device, but without the battery life.

I find it interesting how much people's feeling of safety has become dependent on their access to a personal smartphone. I didn't even get a regular cell phone until high school, but I never felt like I was in danger. Now, even though everyone around me has a smartphone on their person, even I feel slightly uneasy when I don't have my own phone in my pocket.
Battery life is also comparable to an older phone since we've got CRUST - not much "screen on" time, but it should last you a day.
