[ubuntu-tn] Limited First Ubuntu Touch from Bq next morning

[Ahmed Sghaier]

"We have in fact sold-out of Ubuntu phones for today's flash sale. Due to
high demand this morning, many of you faced server issues which we
apologies for.

As a result of the inconvenience and understandable frustration, we have
decided to allocate an additional batch and hold another flash sale today
at 3pm (CET.) We don't anticipate any further server issues and the BQ shop
will be open until stock lasts - please note phones are available in Europe
only. Thank you all for your patience and understanding."

My guess is that would be 3pm tunisia time make sure on the internet.

PS : in an unrelated note @nebras, if you are following the new system dev
you should know that neither the Bq nor MX4 is gonna get you desktop
convergence. the focus now is on the phone and tablet, focus on desktop
convergence is planned for 2016 no commercial release date promises yet.
(if you are trying to compare to current commercial solution (4.x) compare
it to android 1.x since this is ubuntu phone 1.x and be reasonable) this
phone is not for simple end users and that's a fact statement what you
said. That's why I have shared this exact information on the mailing list
and not on social media of ubuntu-tn. (you tell me if you think something i
have said isn't honest, thank you)
