I don't know why parent is getting downvoted: he is correct, we need to https all the things to improve https for everyone.
The battery being a LiPo (lithium polymer) could be a concern (they are quite unstable and explode on contact with water) and IIRC are not allowed to be brought on planes. They can also be permanently damaged if you allow the voltage per cell to get too low and do not have a huge amount of recharge cycles.

what are the standard apps to replace the google apps?
Google has 88 apps in the Android app store. Which ones are you looking to replace? Edit: Here's a list of the "core apps". https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps Notably missing are email and SMS apps, so I'm not sure what they're using for those. Also, you won't spend as much time in siloed app experiences on this OS. It's all about Scopes: http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/features
The phone itself looks great, but the "game" [0] doesn't do a very good job showcasing the usability of the OS. Also shipping comes around 25€ in Europe. Quite steep for a phone priced at 169€. [0] http://www.bq.com/gb/game-ubuntu
Can't wait to be rid of Android. Its endless insistence on upgrading me to the latest version is driving me batty.
Perhaps 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
