If Ubuntu hasn't stragically understand the trend of spec on the techie world.

they might end up of having less consumer.

This is the most aggressively and toughest faught market segment, aside from tablets. Entering at this late stage is going to be very dificult. How many hardware manufactures are going to create phones for yet another platform?? Good luck.

They're not handling their PR very well with
this at all: Gone is the era of 6+ months
between announcing and then shipping an
actual phone. Other technology will have likely
superseded their offering by then, and the public
will have lost interest. B-)

X is correct. BB10 OS will pass windows so fast its not funny. This OS is similar to Android in style and Android is the best. It also has no lag. I might actually give BB a try.
