Choosing a device
[edit | edit source]Right now, the best choices for a daily driver are Volla Phone, Fairphone and FuriPhone FLX, since Ubuntu Touch and FuriOS are quite mature and the main functionality works best.
The PinePhone still has stability issues (sleep, phone calls, GPS/GNSS...). The Purism Librem 5 still has stability issues (Call waiting, Voice over Wi-Fi, Carrier compatibility, SMS/MMS quirks...)
