just depends what you're into. megi just figured out audio stuff for calls but he be busy. plasma mobile is a ton of dev'ing going on.
Can it now be used as a daily driver ?
Can it? Certainly. People have been doing so for years now.
Should you? None of us can answer that for you. None of us know your needs, your technical proficiency, or your willingness to put up with bugs/quirks
If you're interested, you should go read/listen/watch the experiences of users and ask questions once you have some specific ones.
I did and most of them on YouTube are saying not to use it.
And I think that's a fair assessment for the general population... I love my pro and can daily drive it. I carry it everyday but my sim stays in my android ATM, only because my job requires me to not miss a single call and my one work area is already spotty with my android.... Long story short my android lives in tethering. That said, when ever I have an excuse, my pro is my main phone. I love the experience.... But I've been fucking around with Linux since like 2005. If you're not already a Linux nerd, I don't know if I can say it's a good first foray into it...

From a glance at the pne64 blog there hasn't been a mention of PinePhone since Feb 2022 though. It doesn't appear to be particularly active on that product.
August 2023 they mention in the blog an update stuff from megi. Maybe since I'm in the chatrooms a bit more I see the stuff happening... It's very active. But yeah the pine64 link might have not been ideal, but I wanted to show they were still about, but they don't focus on deving perse
there's been a lot of development.
