Hi,

I think canonical isn't searching oem's to sell ubuntu phones. I bet in the
opposite... oem's are trying to convince canonical to sell ubuntu phones.
For the moment, more work has to be done. UT isn't taking full advance of
the capabilities of the current devices. But I agree that more devices
Meizu MX4, Pro 5, M10, e4.5 should be in stock.

This journey was explained in a Q.A session. First will be a very limited
range of devices, then a second round.

I bet next year that second round will begin.
