Revision history [back]

I got my Bq Aquarius Ubuntu phone. The Ubuntu Touch gestures felt almost immediately natural just like in Nokia N9. After having used Jolla over a year I still didn't quite get it. All the small things I dislike on Jolla are fixed in Ubuntu Touch, for example a cool pull-down notification area / quick settings system and the "swipe to switcher" gesture like it was in Nokia N9. No peeks, just a pleasant animation that feels right. For some reason it's much easier to operate single-handed. The current iteration of Sailfish is a bit more robust to be honest, but Ubuntu phone will be my primary device now and in the future. It's surprisingly good. My phone is now actually running the same OS (Ubuntu 14.10) as my desktop and that's awesome.
