Surprised at how good this phone sounds!
Though I am not sure I have the courage to move from Android, it does sound like Ubuntu Phone could be a decent 4th player in the market now that FFOS is DOA.
I imagine you have a lot more flexibility for the software you write? Like, could I easily use Python + Tkinter to set up a quick "app" for my phone?
Basically, is this phone more of a small computer with Ubuntu, or a different beast?
- CaptSpify 10y agoI keep hearing it's supposed to be pretty much stock ubuntu with a slick front-end and phone drivers. I haven't been able to try it yet though. I hope it is, because I've been dying to get an actual linux phone for a long time. Unfortunately this review was a little skimpy on what went on underneath the hood.
- Brakenshire 10y agoIt's not quite stock Ubuntu in the sense that the core system is read only, in order to allow for OTA updates. So at present you can only apt-get by going into a dev mode which means you can't get the OTA's.
- rihegher 10y agoIt's out of stock anyway with no plan for new ones to get sold
