I find it funny that it seems that Microsoft will actually deliver on this promise before Ubuntu gets a chance to.
There is a third bq phone with Ubuntu expected in 2015. That phone will be the convergence phone.
To be honnest I have no idea if Microsoft Continium or any player will release something like that in 2015, any news ?

> You want to import SIM contacts? In all honesty, I don't think this is very common nowadays. If you're migrating from something like a Nokia 1100, your contacts might be in your SIM, but most users are migrating from another smartphone in 2015, and smartphones don't store contacts in the SIM.
Android did it without complaining, iOS apparently does it. My SIM is still the same that I got in 2001. It's a pretty convenient location to store that stuff.
Happy ubuntu phone user here (E4.5) will probably skip the E5 and wait for the next one if it's beefier in spec. The only gripes I have with Ubuntu touch atm are: 1) Lack of USB or Bluetooth tethering 2) Lack of USB or Bluetooth tethering 3) Lack of USB or Bluetooth tethering 4) Lack of FDE

Microsoft's docking just runs the desktop UI of their universal apps, as far as I know. You won't get the full win32 desktop with the ability to run Visual Studio. UI-wise it'll look similar to the average user, but it's a pretty different approach.

FDE == Full Disk Encryption?

you can have USB tethering but you have to install the terminal app :wink: for now http://i.imgur.com/KQZNl1v.jpg
Once a ubuntu phone turns up that supports docking, as the original concept video shows, I'm all over it. Until then it's just a niche mobile OS with a restricted number of apps, and likely too many bugs.

To be honest, as a Surface Pro 2 User, even with 8GB Ram in Phones becoming theoretically possible, i don't think i'd actually want to compromise any further down for my development environment ressourcewise.
