[Ubuntu-phone] Why isn't Ubuntu-Phone using Firefox Mobile?

2013-10-12 Thread Greg W
Why is Ubuntu-Phone developing its own mobile web browser? Doesn't it make more sense to use Firefox Mobile? I like Firefox because it is more customizable and embraces Open-Source more fully than Google/Chromium. Firefox/Mozilla also does a lot more to protect user Privacy. On an aside, I wis

Gustavo is right, we can't give up. We got to stay positive and keep working towards success, supporting each other along the way. Canonical wants the best for the Edge. What would sadden me even more than not meeting the funds though is if Canonical "gets out of the hardware business" should t

[Ubuntu-phone] Phone size (good article on Ars Tech)

2013-08-07 Thread Greg W
One of the big reasons I love the design of the Edge is because it would be one of the very few phones that I could run Ubuntu-Touch/Android on that is not too big for my hand. Good article on Ars Technica mentions how tasks get done faster on smaller phones, among other things: http://arstechn

I just wish they would release a phone with the same appearance-size-shape-dimensions as the Edge. I don't care if it has all the high-end stuff or not. I'll take dual-core, 16GB any day if the phone looks like the Edge and runs Ubuntu-Touch. From: estela...@hotmail.com To: ubuntu-phone@lists.l

[Ubuntu-phone] Block texts/calls with Ubuntu Touch?

2013-08-06 Thread Greg W
iOS 7 is supposed to have a nifty feature of being able to block texts/calls from unwanted phone numbers. This seems like it would be incredibly useful. Is this feature in the Ubuntu Touch roadmap? I couldn't find anything about it in the wiki. -- Maili

I didn't miss the point (Canonical is making an erroneous assumption about the market--let me explain). I am aware of all the Ubuntu "supported models" available on the market. But frankly, I don't like any of them. The Edge design is unlike any of the Android phones (AKA supported models) on

I'm arguing here that Canonical made a mistake by shunning the Edge as a phone-only device to begin the Ubuntu-Touch experience with. Further, I think it is unwise on Canonical's part to "Abandon" the Edge as a Phone if the Indiegogo campaign for Edge-as-Convergence-Device is unsuccessful. Cano
