The phone was too expensive and the risk too high that at the time it is delivered it would be outdated.
Here in France we have a company configuring and selling wiko smartphones (made in china) which are very cheap for their capacity.
Offering Ubuntu on such cheap phones could be a better way to get adopted by the Ubuntu community that doesn't have the money to buy Apple or windows computer. People would be much more forgiving for some software flaws or glitches.
- rahoulb 13y agoUbuntu Edge isn't a straight-forward phone OS though - it was intended to be a desktop/laptop replacement in a phone-sized package (run the Phone UI when disconnected, run a "desktop" UI when connected to an external monitor/keyboard/mouse). So a cheap piece of hardware would not be sufficient.
