The phone is slightly intriguing - 500 bucks for a made in America phone with some flagship level specs (although the SOC isn't listed) and it actually has a headphone jack and sd card slot. I wonder what company actually designed and is building this thing. I can't tell if you can buy it unlocked or if the price is so low because it's baked in to a contract - looks to be the latter. With all the crap the Trump organization hocks, probably best to avoid.

The telemedicine stuff might be intriguing. Other than Gold it's a nice looking phone and I would have bought one for the SIM card slot and headphone jack if I didn't buy the newest pixel when it came out.

I got my pinephone today. It is a bit rough around the edges but we made a successful test call with it.

It is running some kind of kde plasma and I think manjaro. This is on the emmc. I think I might try arch on a microSD card.

One short 10ish minute call dropped the battery 20%, so the battery is not great.

I didn't get a charger with it, so I'm using the old flip phone charger. It comes with a cool little hub bar that can take usbc power and has hdmi out and 2 regular usb for mouse and keyboard. I'll be usin that tomorrow to work on it.
