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

[Nebras Djemel]

I do share your enthusiasm. I know that Ubuntu phone's won't be focusing on
convergence for now. I am just frustrated with the hardware . For
developers it would be better to have a strong phone , that won't become
obsolete very soon.
As far as comparison is concerned , I do understand that the OS is still in
early development, but it has been for relatively a long time now. We won't
catch up to android if we keep comparing the new OS to an obsolete version
of Android.
No offense intended.
