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.
