what are the standard apps to replace the google apps?

  Google has 88 apps in the Android app store. Which ones are you looking to replace? Edit: Here's a list of the "core apps". https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps Notably missing are email and SMS apps, so I'm not sure what they're using for those. Also, you won't spend as much time in siloed app experiences on this OS. It's all about Scopes: http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/features http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/features

    Inbox, calendar, maps.

    The "Core Apps" have a bad name. They are community-developed apps, that may be included in the stock image. What you're really looking for are the "System Apps": https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-system-apps https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-system-apps

      Oh, thanks! But I still don't see email or maps in either list?

        (I've been following development on and off — lately more off.) Email is Dekko: https://launchpad.net/dekko https://launchpad.net/dekko (No idea about the name.) Based on (forked from) Trojitá. I haven't seen a maps app, but I know they're using Here/Nokia for location services (https://insights.ubuntu.com/2014/07/30/nokia-here-maps-coming-to-ubuntu/ https://insights.ubuntu.com/2014/07/30/nokia-here-maps-comin...). I think the BQ phone comes with a location "scope". The Here HTML5 app is pretty good on FxOS, so they could be using that.
