I know there were a few that liked Linux and Ubuntu from the past so figured they might find this interesting.
Plus I think it is good for the consumers that there might wind up being another software to enter the phone system instead of IOS and Android.
Seems like Windows might be going to the waste side as an OS for phones...used to be a big number of people that loved Linux and such so see how it goes. Ok...enough blah blah blah from me...

The wait is finally over for the Ubuntu OS to become commercially available on a smartphone. As planned, the BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubunto Edition is being launched today in Europe.
The Aquaris E4.5 is not an entirely new device, it's been available for some time booting Android KitKat. The specsheet of the smartphone is nothing to write home about, but it's still a balanced package.
The name reveals the screen size of 4.5 inches, and the qHD resolution of the IPS panel results in a pixel density of 244ppi. Running the show is a Mediatek chipset with its Cortex-A7 CPU clocked at 1.3GHz. A single gig of RAM is onboard as well as 8GB of internal storage, of which 5.5GB are available to the user. A microSD slot offers expansion up to 32GB.
