Canonical branded phone?

 

Hi

Did anyone from Canonical considered to 'simply' develop phone themselves
alone, order it in factory and sell with Canonical brand? I know that's is
not that simple as assembling computer (take 1 CPU, 1 motherboard, etc. and
put them together in box), but maybe this can be better, instead of
searching for some OEMs and trying to convince them to install UT? In
long-term, more profits would be transfered into Canonical. Did someone
done profit and loss part of that brilliant idea?;)

The main reason for that: want wired screen casting support? No problem,
put mhl/slimport adapter. More ergonomic edges gesture? Adjust screen size
and frame. Unnecessary button? Remove it.

What do you think guys?
Best regards,
