the lack of continuity of supply really does rule out Ubuntu as a 
platform for doing stuff on, we can't use it for commercial projects if 
we would  be scrabbling about for B-stock handsets. I do understand that 
while Canonical is chasing the consumer self-purchased off-contract 
market they are at the whim of the OEMs but it seems very surprising 
that they are not opening up other methods of bringing their product to 
market.
