Too late for Ubuntu Touch.
Judging by activity for the past three weeks,
Ubuntu Touch has just gasped its last breath.
Ubuntu is not particularly open development,
a lot of what goes on is hidden behind some egos we cannot see.
There is no "Come and see our code":
it all appears to be based on mailing list + IRC collaboration.
I cannot count the times I have chased some telefony reference
up into the canopy of the Ubuntu junglescape.
Lacking any 'open' means of recoding normal linux apps
into functioning in an Apparmor prison under an
abandonware display driver,
the absence of any serious applications creates a deafening silence.
All said, the only useful point of carrying a Ubuntu phone
is being able to listen to music.
Roughly 8% of all the "apps" on Ubuntu touch are for music,
but most are not even applications-
- they are merely links to websites.
[background on UT 'unfixables':
Browser fails on far too many points,
they have locked out any reasonable email clients
and the way multitasking has been shackled into the dungeon
means that nothing else can work.
VPN still shows your ISP where you are trying to go,
and still fails in far too many ways.
Privacy on a Ubuntu phone is a joke not funny at all]
Expect an announcement sometime in 2nd quarter of 2017
of Ubuntu abandoning their efforts in "Touch"
or anything else related to mobile content.
Convergence just died.
