First of all the phone would have to work correctly. How are You expected to sell a phone where bluetooth doesn't work and which has problems with stupid sms sound notification? The ?memory? management isn't any better. Every few days I have to reboot cause no app wants to open.
Ubuntu Edge? It wouldn't fail if the campaign was started and ran correctly. If someone thought a little bit how a human beign thinks like. There were for sure many more thousand people LIKE ME who would give You these 500$. I really would. Why I wouldn't? Why so many people didn't? You could read it in Facebook comments and it was NOT a big problem. Ubuntu Edge really could succeed. All You developers forget that You work and create stuff for people. It's not just another soft-update for a robot in a VW factory. You just change something or start a campaign without smallest psycho-market skills that would give You a chance to succeed. If I wanted to change from GNOME2 to Unity I wouldn't give a smallest chance to lose users that switch to MATE etc. It is only a little bit of psychology and understanding the other human beign (not to be confused with the true meaning of the >Ubuntu< word:-( ).

Cheers
Marcin, well known GTrider

 Subject: Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Canonical branded phone?
   
 Hi, I am glad to see a bit of discussion on this subject. Canonical did try to launch production of a phone on it's own with the Ubuntu Edge. But they are not the only ones who have tried to gather interest for this idea. When the crowd funding campaign for the Ubuntu Edge was launched, I believe Ubuntu/Canonical had the "edge" on the competition (if you'll excuse the pun). However, development has taken time, and the others have launched different variants of the idea. A couple of minutes of poking around the web today and I found Nexdock, Casetop Dock and Superbook. Then, of course, there is Microsoft's Continuum for Phones. So where does this leave the Ubuntu phone venture? I am seriously worried that before something lands properly, others will have flooded the market with similar products. 
  I really wish the Ubuntu phone the success it deserves, but at the moment, I have to admit the future looks a bit bleak. Maybe, we are just being kept a bit in the dark at the moment, and something is in store? Lets hope so! If I had had the programming skills, I would have contributed more. As it is, my contribution is mainly a bit of translating, unfortunately, but that's something at any rate. I applaud all who are contributing to the further development of Ubuntu Touch and the convergence concept and I wish you the best of success. I look forward to some news about what we can expect in the near future!
  Regards, Ari

 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.

 yes, it was called "Ubuntu Edge" and failed teh crowdfunding
 campaign...
 
 
 That was some time ago. Market changed, smartphones (low/mid) are cheaper. We don't need super-high-end phone. We need a phone that can be bought all the time (for now, we can't buy any phone (except second hand, etc.).
 And the most important thing - Canonical now have a lot more knowledge about phones than before. Maybe now some costs can be lower? In example OS is more completed (so software part should be cheaper) than few years ago.
 
  Crowdfunding campaign ver. 2? ;)
