I believe having a different screen aspect ratio (maybe something like the one on bb passport) is essential for any Linux phone.
That's why I was very disappointed about the librem5.
Let's face it, people don't crave Linux phone to scroll their Facebook timeline, but rather to do some real work using real filesystem and real applications.
I don't know maybe I will always be the iMate pocket PC guy who resents the steve-jobs-way of mobile computing.
Yeah and one more thing:
Linux phone must have physical QWERTY keyboard. How do you guys expect to use command line!

it looks like the Nexus 7 still sells new on Amazon under $165. any plans on installing it on that? the tablet has a rather large bezel. i'd rather install it on my iPad mini 2. i wonder if someone is coding for iPad, what is the term? porting it, or is that BSD terminology? i want to have a tablet and phone with Ubuntu Touch and a laptop and desktop and car with Ubuntu. thanks for making this video!

I do have one Question Rob. How is the phone/call experience? That's the truly only important thing for me. If that works, I'll switch totally. the rest is just candy far as I'm concerned. I use my desktop for everything else. And I don't game on my phone, but I do use the camera occasionally and a lot of browsing. Not much music since if I don't have my desktop near by. well, I'm working.

What do we do with contacts, how to back them up and what else to do we need to do, then when do we buy and what is the process for getting contacts and apps back on the phone?

Let's stop calling the spying google and others do -data harvesting- and start calling it what it is: SPYING. You see they get away with what would otherwise be illegal by playing word games and making excuses like -we're only trying to provide better service for you-. Yet, what everyone really wants is privacy. How about they start delivering THAT?

I love my iPhone but they removed the headphone jack. But I do think google and Apple is over stepping. I own a Apple phone but they say I have no right to mod the software on it same with my computer. Now I game on windows 10 with my MacBook. But I do hope other software option open up for computers and smart devices.

I have no words to describe the service you're doing. I've been thinking of how to get private on mobile for years and I just found you. However, I still like to take good pictures and I was wondering if there is any linux phone with a good camera.
Hopefully they'll also have the kill switches too.

Rob, Tell Rogan that rights don't exist because one has something to hide, it is because they have no right to pry. I'd ask him why he is more willing to ask you what you are hiding while allowing the government to continue to hide everything it does? I'd say his priorities are out of whack.

Hi
Are there any real games for gnu linux phone like pubg?
Is it smooth as apple phones?
Please don't tell me it's a professional phone for only linux users. If it is it will never be a successful OS among other OSes
