> The biggest strength and weakness of Ubuntu Phone is that it’s a device without an intrinsic set of services. If you buy an Android device you get Google Services. If you buy an iPhone you get Apple services. I think what you may get with a "popular" mainstream Ubuntu phone platform will be a lot worse - like Canonical allowing companies to install their own services/crapware, but worse than it already is for Android phones.
