Phone hardware is not the problem they have, Ubuntu phone is. The UX is bad, the app situation is bad (no, mobile websites are not sufficient), it has no point.

Phone hardware is not the problem they have, Ubuntu phone is. The UX is bad, the app situation is bad (no, mobile websites are not sufficient), it has no point. I got jaded after seeing the Ubuntu TV announcement which quietly went nowhere, and every time I try Ubuntu phone (easy to install on a spare Nexus 4) the fundamentals haven't improved. It's nowhere close to Android or iOS, nor is it a powerhouse replacement for something like the Nokia N900.
