Yes you can. You may have noted that I too am using a Gmail address. I have switched back to it to reply to you. To bottom-quote, click the [...] button at the bottom that conceals the quoted text in your reply. For best results, click the downward-arrow "more" button at bottom-right and select "plain text". Trim the quote. (Alternatively, I believe, just as in old Gmail, just highlight the part you want to reply to before hitting reply, and only the highlighted part will be quoted.) Move the cursor to below it and type your reply. Hit tab-space to send. > 2.

But the demos do show the same phone working in Ubuntu when docked and in Android when undocked, and take pains to tell you that you can still use Android contacts and so on. This would not be the case were it treating the phone as a simple bootable USB key. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
