Hi Gordon,
To be perfectly honest, if you are looking for a great fully developed
reliable phone, Ubuntu is not quite there yet unfortunately :/
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.
Unfortunately I cannot answer your questions except for camera -
definitely worse than Nokia (in spite of much higher resolution).
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...
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.
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...

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