http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/02/07/report-ubuntu-smartphones-october/1898325/ http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/design Thoughts? I think it looks pretty awesome, and it's slated to release around the time I'm due for an upgrade through Verizon :D EDIT: Looks like it'll come with a built in terminal for command line apps. I'm gonna feel like Tony Stark playing around with this thing! http://www.dailyflux.com/ubuntu-smartphone-developments-q1-2013/ | |

| I would it can run anything that runs on your desktop Linux. I do think it would be cool to have aircrack and ettercap and what not on it lol | |

Very interesting. My upgrade is due in April, though, and I reckon I'll stick with iPhone. Definitely something I'd look at in the future, though. Nice find. | |

| My current phone (iPhone 4) was the first smartphone I've ever owned, and I'm ready for something new. I have a feeling this Ubuntu phone will win me over. | |

I'm sort of in a similar situation, Resident. Had my iPhone 4 for two years now, though I did have several 'droids before that. I fancy something new, but I'm a little worried that I'll miss the iOS features I use a lot. I'm pretty tempted by the Lumia 920, though. | |

If it only runs with Android, as in "Ubuntu for Android", I'm stepping out of interest. I'd expect the just an .iso, and I'll install and set it up for a capable smartphone device myself, and boot and run it from an SD card. I don't particularly favor Android, so I'd hate the idea of using it while using Ubuntu, when I like Ubuntu better itself. (Even though they're both Linux under the hood, I like Ubuntu better). | |

| You can already use Ubuntu on Android smartphones via chroot and VNC. This is different I think. | |
