Unfortunately, I have not. I do wish to but really for the actual phone, not just for a mention in the founder pages.

This fabulous super phone is destined for failure.

trying to sell snot that he doesnt have. down to 7 days at 3 million a day. not going to make it.

eeepc by asus aimed at low end market was the most profitable move in IT. you'd think these ubuntu people would have learnt that.

firefox phone is priced closer to right to succeed.

me i am going to find a new one of my years old phone model which does the job without android. fortunately i know where they still have them. if i want to surf long time i use my netbook with it real linux OS..

I don't really see how that phone is going to do anything that my. i-mobile IQ 6 won't do.

Shuttleworth says he's sad they didn't raise the gazillions they were after, but that they still expect to be releasing Ubuntu onto smartphones through their partners, although they don't say who they are.

Other alternatives to consider: Firefox OS, Smartisan, Tizen, Sailfish.
