Copernicus, I think you hit the nail on the head there. Sooner or later, something is bound to happen that will put people off Android/iOS, but for now most people seem pretty happy.

I've never tried Ubuntu phone, but I'm curious about it. When Jolla's problems surfaced, my first thought was that maybe UP is the new best chance for a mobile Linux OS that can improve slowly but in a sustainable way (because Canonical has other income to subsidise it).

I'm surprised there hasn't been more chat on this forum about it. Is that because people have tried it and don't like it, or because they never had a reason to try it because Sailfish is much more of an obvious successor to Harmattan etc?

Can someone who has used both give a list of things they like and things they don't compared to Sailfish?
