<br>
To be perfectly honest, if you are looking for a great fully
developed reliable phone, Ubuntu is not quite there yet
unfortunately :/<br>
<br>
The things that I personally find annoying is that it takes 4
seconds for contacts to load and than when I choose person to call
- another 3 seconds for the phone app to load. It doesn't seem a
lot, but it is long enough for you to notice that you are waiting
for your phone. Also volume levels do not adapt when headset is
plugged in.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately I cannot answer your questions except for camera -
definitely worse than Nokia (in spite of much higher resolution).<br>
I am a bit confused about the storage - website says 8GB, my phone
settings says 6.8GB, 2,5 used by the OS, and I think I have an
internal storage of 2GB in, not sure if it is included here or no...<br>
<br>
<br>
All being said I can see this phone really has a potential, I
really like how certain features are and I am not coming back to
Android (definitely not to Windows). I believe that the more
programmers will have this phone the faster it will develop and I
am willing to wait.<br>
<br>
If you need a reliable phone, with all functions you know and need
- I would stay with Android for now, but as far as I understand
you can load Ubuntu on some of the devices - just for trial run...<br>

Hi all,
<br>
as ubuntu Phone is now on sale generally, before deciding whether
or not to purchase, I have some questions.
<br>
<br>
1. What email, calendar, tasks and contacts apps are available?
<br>
2. Does it come with an ODF viewer/editor?
<br>
3. Presumably the apps in (1) will sync with Caldav/Carddav
servers?
<br>
4. What's the build quality liks compared to, say, Samsung S4 or a
Sony Xperia?
<br>
5. How good is the camera?
<br>
6. How much storage is available to the User out of the box?
<br>
<br>
I live in N Staffs - is there anyone on the list that lives
reasonably nearby who has one, that I could come along and have a
look?
<br>
<br>
Cheers
<br>
<br>
Gordon
