Ubuntu Phone First Look!

Any Ubuntu fans out there? Well, the software based upon the South African philosophy of "humanity towards others" is looking to make its mark in the Android space. It is a new operating system built from the ground up based upon its desktop OS and is looking to take a little bit of Android's playing ground.

Does this bode as a good or bad thing for us Android fans? Let us know in the comments below about your thoughts on the forthcoming Ubuntu Phone OS.

His english is so fluent and elegant. Where can I learn his way of speaking, his dialect?
Australia, Great Britain, USA?

The guy's not mumbling, he just has a thick foreign inflection that you guys aren't used to hearing.

I use Ubuntu as my primary desktop OS, so being able to take it with me anywhere I go would be awesome. Just dock the phone along with a monitor (and mouse and keyboard) and boom, full desktop experience. And I think dual-booting with Android is also possible.

Something that I think they do need, is to include android compatibility via dalvik, that way they can offer their fast Gui + their own native apps, while having the huge library of android apps from the get go.

Canonical needs to hire a marketing/sales person that can actually SPEAK.

[joshy]

I can understand him just fine, he's talking a little fast, but still understandable

[IshanMahendru]

"on a...on a...on a...phone", it's like the guy didn't want to name the nexus. Strange. O.o

[poljackph]

new OS = more competition = lowered prices = everybody happy! =)

[lmlCOBHClml]

that looks really cool but sadly i have an android tablet and that just wouldnt look right to me on a tablet

[FerraFQ]

the ui is more confortable and great... this will serve some choice to smartphone user out there rather than choose wp, ios, android or bb10.

[adirmugrabi]

the very first os to actually challenge android!
but this is just an alpha build. we will have to see how it operates in real use.
but the concept is great

[BaderReda]

This guy sounds like a South Park character. Also, awesome phone.

[DoritosResidue]

looks like they stole those swipe gestures from the wave launcher app on android which works extremely well. That UI is simple and refreshing though.

[pcgeek]

its annoying not to have keys you know of! it will take to much time to get used to

[kyrieeleison]

could hardly understand what the guy is saying...I just turned off the sound and looked at the video

[jukingmaster]

This guy has to learn how to speak correctly, I dont know if English is his second language or whatever but damn, i understood like only one word from every sentence.

[rafazzen]

I think it's time to upgrade my Nexus S to Galaxy Nexus/Nexus 4 only for Ubuntu. :)

[trmims]

doesn't look very impressive from this video. those apps that pop out on the left side of the screen is cool. that's all though.

[poland]

Does this phone work with android apps from google play?

[jmichaelt]

can u still get apps from the play store?
