Looks like Ubuntu is crowdsourcing their phone project:<br>

The specs are definitely top-end: fast multi-core CPU, 4GB RAM, 128GB<br>
flash, "only" 720p sapphire screen.<br>
<br>
One can snag one in the next 24 hours for $600(USD?)+shipping - after<br>
that, $830 per phone. Expect delivery next May. Notably, it comes with a<br>
28 day money-back guarantee.<br>
