Pyra cons:
Don't expect it to replace your phone.
I have used a few linux machines for phone calls (over GSM)
and this all depends upon what kind of wwan chipset
is under the hood.
Some are pluggable and can be replaced,
and some are soldered in which is a real show-stopper.
I would wonder whether the chips envisioned for PYRA
have voice/SMS capability.
If so,
It could indeed replace your phone, right out of the box.
I recognize it would be a bit kludgy,
but much easier than carting around a mini-itx
with a compatible USB modem and a dangling LCD screen.
cheers
