http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...tem&px=MTQxNTg Possible designs of the device http://design.canonical.com/wp-conte...s/IMG_1644.jpg http://imgur.com/a/h22Fi I hope this is what the designs end up being as they look very good. If I were to guess the device is a developer device. Edit: will be announced in 4 days and I will post updates as they come. |

Re: Ubuntu Edge
I concur its a sexy Ubuntu design!
I still acknowledge the iPhone 4 (S/5) with the best design out of any phone... ...in terms of corners (don't eat up much room, don't stab you) ...in terms of sides (square/flat makes it easy to hold and maximises grip) ...in terms of branding (everything is at the back, front is clean) and that's it. But its patented :( A way forward on that design would be to... 1- Front Stereo speakers (I've said this for years, HTC One listens) 2- Almost no bezel on the front (Keep saying this, little do they listen) 3- Glass only front (like the Gnex and the N9) 4- Symmetric style (place 4 hardware buttons on right side, when phone is flipped over nothing's changed) 5- OtherHalf (Jolla's got a great idea, but poor execution. Have a thin phone with small battery that can transform to anything***) 6- Have a KickStand + several forms (little 4ins, to medium 4.6ins, to large 5.2in designs) Eg/ Original - 7mm, only 1,400mAh battery Medium attachment - 9mm, 2,600mAh battery Fat attachment - 13mm, 3,900mAh battery QWERTY attachment (also comes in different layouts like azerty etc, no need to buy a different phone!) GAMEpad attachment (something basic like three action buttons, two sets surrounding a pair of PSP-style nubs. Four shoulder pads, maybe use the 4 buttons off the phone?) MISC attachments (second touchscreens, to LED flash, to novelty sh ites etc etc) |
Re: Ubuntu Edge
Someone is going to say so I will the bezel needs to be smaller.
|
Re: Ubuntu Edge
this design looks good and diffrent atleast:) anyway just another newborn touch device. !

Buttons (Power, Vol-, Vol+) are too small and not have much travel. They would be a pain to get used to. Not to mention the corners. They can "stab" your palm while using. Won't stab your legs as long as you pocket the phone with the screen towards your body, the angled sides help a little here. |

Re: Ubuntu Phone
Hope for bigger and better screen. But they are directly competitor to jolla and both going for 4.5 so the battle is fair.

Comparing it to Jolla's device it was € 399 ($ ~510) vs € ~460 ($ ~600) [prices calculated on the 1 day deal]...a bunch of neat hardware in the Ubuntu phone. |

Re: Ubuntu Phone
Even though I want to move away from Ubuntu post-Mir, this is very tempting. I do want to support open source projects, and I presume other distributions could leverage the same binary blobs the Edge will have.
The $600 package is shifting quite quickly though, 70 sales in 20 minutes, so if you're thinking about it, keep an eye on the number of takers, it's 198/5000 when I made this post. PS, can we change the thread title to Ubuntu Edge? |
Re: Ubuntu Phone
Edit to "PreOrder Ubuntu Edge" so nobody missing the campaign if interested.

Re: Ubuntu Edge Announced! Pre-Order Opened
this is something diffrent:)

Re: Ubuntu Phone
I'm sold to Sailfish, especially when it comes to UI, but hardware wise Ubuntu Phone is much more like it.
I would be happy to pay +1000 euros just to get GS4 like base hardware on a Ubuntu Mobile or Jolla. Just make the hardware your own and don't care about the expense. Would there be market for it outside of me and couple of other weirdos? Probably not. |
Re: Ubuntu Edge Announced! Pre-Order Opened
2 has order the $10000 deal. WTF :D
I have now joined Ubuntnu's scam campaign too. The dual boot made me do it. And you can't have enough phones. |
Re: Ubuntu Edge Announced! Pre-Order Opened
Ubuntu Phone hardware + Jolla OS = <3
Would that be possible from a technical aspect? |
Re: Ubuntu Edge
I really like the concept of running full desktop on mobile, by just docking the thing using standard wiring. The N9 has Easy Debian, but is too slow to be practical, and lacks HDMI (and I never succeeded in pairing and using a BT mouse to it) I was kinda hoping Jolla would be the first to make this practical, but now I can only hope they will at least provide the necessary hardware to make it possible.
I'm not really keen on Ubuntu lately, they are losing touch with their community. |
Re: Ubuntu Edge
offers full ubuntu pc experience once connected with a monitor!
damn... |
Re: Ubuntu Edge Announced! Pre-Order Opened
Looks very nice!

Damn. 2013 seems to have been the year of mobile Linux announcements. 2014 seems to be the year of mobile Linux deliveries.
This is one impressive looking and thought out piece of kit. |
Re: Ubuntu Edge Announced! Pre-Order Opened
Still waiting on a device that multiboots android, firefox os, tizen, sailfish, and Ubuntu Touch.
edit: add Webos to that too |
Re: Ubuntu Edge
Now they hit more than 500,000 dollars I wonder if Shuttleworth is secretly putting money in there.

"you will be able to boot android, so you can keep your existing app collection" yes, so each time you want to launch an app you need to reboot?!
...I'm still for jolla :D |

I don't think neither jolla or Ubuntu will be as great as they say. Love sailfish, but Ubuntu device Looks cooler and is more exclusive(if it is ever built). The only thing that makes me pissed is that they don't announce the battery size!! that is the same lame mistake as Jolla. |
Who has supported Ubuntu edge?
I put in an order for this exclusive futuristic spaceship and hope to see it in may. Anyone else supported ubuntu or I'm the only one here at TMO?
Love to run my own shipping thread all by myself. http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploa...concepts-1.jpg |
