Are you tired of Apple? Tired of Windows phone? Tired of, dare I say.. Android? Me neither I could never be tired of Android. If you need a whole new experience you chance is here. The first ever Ubuntu phone will go on sale next week. A few years back Ubuntu announced their upcoming phone UI. They pretty quickly released some Beta software which was quickly ported to the Galaxy Nexus. I decided to flash the Rom and it was at the time very limited. I wasn't able to use it as a daily driver, but was able to get the feel of what they were trying to do. Basically the whole UI operates on swipes. Swipe one way to bring up the browser, another way to bring up your settings, another way to bring up recommended media and so forth and so on. The upcoming phones actually appear to have the same UI that we experienced during the Beta period. The Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Phone wont leave you in shock an all. It will arrive with some mid tier specs including a 1.3GHz MediaTek processor, 4.5" 540x960 dispaly, 5mp front facing camera and 8mp rear facing camera, sd card slot, and the phone is said to arrive with some partner apps to include twitter, facebook, cut the rope and others. This won't be a cutting edge top of the line experience, but will offer something new. Expect to see more Ubuntu Phone Rom ports once this phone goes live!
