I appreciate all the negative points :) but I am also owner of the same phone, and list of terrible things goes like this: - charging is unpredictable, I would like to attache some of the screen shots ... - You can not charge it while it is on ?! yes I know. If you do it will show it is full charged and then it will discharge in 30 minutes .. - Main apps do not exist (Skype, WhatsUp, Viber, etc... list is long ...), - although it is showing it has 4g most of the it does not work ... and it is not network issue, I have another phone ... - Camera will sometime save images that cannot be read after ... especially if battery is near to the end. To say anything nice about phone or platform you must be high or someone has to pay you to post that...

The negative points worked though. This is a useful comment to make: I am also owner of the same phone, and list of terrible things goes like this: - charging is unpredictable, I would like to attache some of the screen shots ... - You can not charge it while it is on ?! yes I know. If you do it will show it is full charged and then it will discharge in 30 minutes .. - Main apps do not exist (Skype, WhatsUp, Viber, etc... list is long ...), - although it is showing it has 4g most of the it does not work ... and it is not network issue, I have another phone ... - Camera will sometime save images that cannot be read after ... especially if battery is near to the end. Whereas making insinuations about the author doesn't really provide anybody here anything of value.

  > making insinuations The author is an employee of the company that makes the OS for the phone, and didn't mention it in the specific article or on the header/sidebar of the blog. It's several clicks away on a Google+ profile. > doesn't really provide anybody here anything of value I disagree.

    How much money did you get to make this wonderland story? That's an insinuation regardless of what the truth is. As is stating that they would have to be high to write the article. Stating that the author works for Canonical is not an insinuation.

      That you are more concerned with someone suggesting an article was partially or fully affected by financial incentive, rather than the author not stating anything about his employer in said article, says a lot to me. Here's a hint: you and I have very different priorities.

        Sure, I believe that making baseless accusations of dishonesty is pernicious. I think it's even worse when it's easy to discover facts that would point to the potential for conflict of interest. I find it really disappointing how easy people are with accusation. I'm not sure my not saying anything about the conflict of interest actually reveals much about how I feel about it.

  Well I will not apologize for my sarcastic comment - customers nowadays are carpet bombed with a different kind of marketing strategists that somehow need to make us feel better about the "cat in the bag" of a product we buy, and there is point you have to say it is enough. If anything to protect any next naive customer, who is willing to try new gadget. It is worth mentioning, that I tried contacting the seller about all the issues I was experiencing but I haven't got any response. So, if you are trying to sell me something in dishonest way, trying to beautify the product (old, dirty, smelly cat) saying something that does not represent, sarcasm is justified response. Ubuntu has potential, maybe one day it will be a good platform if people put some effort into it, but now, and especially 500 days ago, was not that day.
