Re: Thank you

 

I have to agree with the positive comments here, I wish beyond anything that the project can continue in some form and at some point reach its goal.

I will keep my MX4 and BQ M10 with Ubuntu Touch and with other continue to hate the Android UI and lock in.

Hi to all.

Thanks to all Ubuntu team from my side.

Eventhough this days have been several negative comments in some forums due to the project discontinuity, we would not have Ubuntu in our phones up today nor teams working to continue the project in ports and so on. So very BIG thanks!

Regards
Marcos

As was already mentioned a lot of cash has gone into getting us this far and that is something to be eternally grateful for. I for one have a few desktop apps out now which I owe to UT, they are spin offs of another dev's phone app. So if it were not for UT I would not have gotten my head round packaging and publishing on Ubuntu.

I have had the tinyest taste of perfection and how am I supposed to make do with anything else? I loved my Ubuntu phone and I can't have any ill feeling toward any of the people who gave me that experience. Here's to the next chapter in our journey!
