#43I got burned once with a windows phone Omnia 7 as an early adopter and it was beyond useless (lack of apps/configurability) so I will definitely not rush again on unproven phones despite my interest in Ubuntu. Also the price/specs on this phone is horrible compared to Xiaomi Note 4G (190euro) which I own and can recommend to anyone. I hope Ubuntu phone catches on though. Competition is good.
I had the Omnia 7 and had the same frustration. Nothing wrong with the phone itself, but the OS was clunky and the Windows Phone app store was basically empty...

#44Can't wait to be rid of Android. Its endless insistence on upgrading me to the latest version is driving me batty.
How can something like that make you batty? For sure Ubuntu phone will never invite you to upgrade ...
For example when they force you an update that doesn't work on given device.

#45BQ main office is just 50 meters away from my office. They are like 70-80 people, all very young ( Pretty useless comment, I know.
They also make an e-reader [1] with open source software. I'm somewhat obsessed with the idea of using it for ssh/mosh as a portable terminal. It would be very cool to hear if someone has tried this, before ordering one. I mailed some random guy at BQ and he said he never tried it, but also found it interesting. If you find it interesting too, maybe you could run down and ask around! :) [1]: http://www.bq.com/gb/prod…

#46More mobile fragmentation. I hope Cordova stacks (phonegap, iconic) are made compatible soon.

If you’ve created HTML5 apps or mobile websites for
other platforms — there’s good news: the path
to Ubuntu
couldn’t
be quicker. We support both the Webkit/Blink and
Cordova development standards — and with a separate
API that enables
websites to be quickly converted to run independently
of a browser, with full access to phone notifications
and
settings, the same goes for your web applications.Re: Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition
#47Perhaps the mods can change the URL to show the English version of the site, rather than the Spanish version? http://www.bq.com/gb/ubuntu.html
Huh, I tried /en/. Generally people use ISO 639 over ISO 3166 for choosing the language to represent.

Sorry, yeah, I mean the e-reader, though the Ubuntu Phone seems awesome. :)

Either something groundbreaking or a future rare collectible.
