Looks interesting. The main challenge is the already saturated market, even MS is doing badly and the situation is between Google and Apple. Ubuntu has some advantages, like the full desktop mode when docked (you can install Eclipse, LibreOffice and any other software that you can find in a regular Ubuntu machine) and the integration with thin client techs to run remote Windows apps in corporative environments. 

It looks like Samsung is searching alternatives to Android, to lower their dependence of Google (it's good to have options, at least it will help in negotiations with Google), so it can find a niche to start, maybe with low/mid-end phones. Despite all that, I will surely buy an Ubuntu phone as soon as I find one.

Any ubuntu lovers care to explain to me why I couldn't install the grafix driver for pc although it says "tested and approved by ubuntu" or something?

 

What's your video card? How are you trying to install the driver?


ATI radeon hd 3650. I tried to switch to ubuntu months ago but I had troubles installing the graphics card and for some reason my processor ran too hot the experience became so sluggish. I think I tried to install it using a driver utility that was preinstalled in ubuntu. I googled around but all I got is commands and I didn't want to learn new stuff just to install the driver honestly, that's why I use an iphone lolz.

I also will consider ubuntu phones when it's out, the swipe gestures are lovely. No buttons? nom nom nom.
