But i'm dubtful: when you launch your desktop operating system, will you still be able to use your smartphone (I mean, will I get my phone calls at least?!)
Yes, you can call via desktop mode. However, its seems like the desktop mode won't be ready at launch. This is an Os under development.

PS, can we change the thread title to Ubuntu Edge?
MiR is megalomina and epic stupidness and has fragmented Linux and its community. Do not support Canonical!

I don't like their latest moves either, and on my newest machine I opted to go for gnome as my shell, so that I'm not too dependent on them.

BUT, they are sooo closer to my idea of phone, and so much more open than any of the spying competition (apart from Jolla, which remains #1 hope in my book) that I decided to support them. Even just to show the world that not everybody wants an android.

I want comanys who comes with something FRESH. Not companys copycats even the marketing campaign is looking like something coming from Apple.

Now they make me even more sure its time for me throw ubuntu on my work computer and home machine in trashbin :mad:
They are dualbooting so that they can use Ubuntu for Android. Ubuntu desktop mode is not yet available for Ubuntu touch it will be with a simple update.

Unfortunately, I doubt they will raise the $32 m needed in 30 days,

The first million is a done deal.

I guess $10 m in 30 days.
