I'm not too bothered about the desktop, although I am rather fond of
Unity. I am wondering, however, if Unity is dead and buried, or is it just
Unity 8?
I will be sad, however, if I have to give up on my Ubuntu phone. I know
that the Ubuntu phone is limited but I do find it best for routine stuf

I wouldn't by that one as one comment say it comes with 12.04 (which is out
