(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.
