Thanks Vic, the UK store would be fine. Thanks for your help! Ideally 
something with a 5 inch screen, otherwise the 4.5 would do. Thanks!

If I find a way to do so, the UK online store would fit your needs?.

An offer of a second hand phone in pristine condition from a member of 
this list. I got lucky. It is a shame they aren't more freely available.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] And now for something not entirely different

[Eran Benjamin]

I really like the BQ 4.5, and their post-sale support is also great, yet 
I'm still hoping that the French manufacturer Wiko will have a their WAX 
and Highway models running Ubunbtu phone too.


They are slick, thin and light, plus fast Nvidia Tegra4i chipset with 4G 
for about the same price as a BQ4.5.
