I understand that Canonical has been working on getting an Ubuntu
version that will run on phones, although I suspect their real target
is tablets.

Very nice, indeed, although I was dismayed to see that the USB ports
are apparently only 2.0. There is also no information about the specs
for the cameras. And the SD card compatibility only lists 32 GB,
although 64 GB cards are currently available.
On a positive note, the battery life is phenomenal.
