I had pretty much exactly the same experience with Ubuntu Touch (but on an Aquaris phone). All in all I found the window manager a frustrating and horrible experience.
But the one "killer app" I really missed was email. There's precisely one native app, and it fails to load subfolders in imap.
A "free" OS feels like a petty distinction when the only (usable) applications are wrappers for mobile sites.
- collyw 10y agoI have one, but the screen cracked a month or two back, so now back onto Android. I actually found the Ubuntu interface a lot nicer to navigate than Android, but there is a serious lack of apps for it. The GPS was next to useless compared to Android (not sure if my model had a problem, but it took forever to get a lock, on Android its almost instant). The other big downside for me was traveling. Almost all of the apps were web based so maps wouldn't even load without an internet connection. Pretty useless when I was in the South of Chile and just wanted to check the street map of a small town we were in. Android does feel way ahead of the Ubuntu phone now. Though it acts like an attention seeking child a lot of the time. I am getting notifications from Google plus, despite the fact I barely ever log into it. Beeps here beeps there always wanting my attention. From web sites I have browsed but refused to install the app as well. At least the GPS is useful now, as its one of the few things I actually find useful on a phone.
