I'm getting quite used to it now, and I only got it this morning.  There
are a lot of things missing that my Android phone (a Motorola MOTO G) has
got.  But I was pleased to get synchronisation with my Google contacts, for
instance.  HERE is nothing like Google Maps, unfortunately.  I can't even
tell it where my home is, let alone plan journeys.  The Near By scope tells
me where my nearest bus stop is, but I know that (I can see it from my
window), but HERE doesn't show it on the map.

Fortunately for Ubuntu, my expectations were not all that high for the
phone.  I hope it will improve, though.

I think its is unfair of you to say "have Canonical chosen a bunch of
cowboys...".  Nobody seems to realise that its the 'cowboys' who are
choosing Ubuntu, not the other way round, and we should be thanking them.
Ubuntu will only get shipped by the phone providers that choose it.
Something that all those people in the USA, Canada, Indonesia, India, etc,
that are asking when they will get an Ubuntu phone, don't realise.
