IMO the most functional pine64 gadgets are the pinetime and pinebook pro, those you can daily drive. The phones are not ready yet, they are good devices to play with but I wouldn’t use them as a daily driver, you could miss an important text or phone call and you want a reliable phone in case of an emergency. If you just want a cheap phone that doesn’t spy on you I would get a ‘dumb’ phone.
Could you share your experiences?
