The first Ubuntu phone is finally going on sale, and it isn't just the software that's doing things a bit differently: the BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition will be available in a grab-it-while-you-can limited-numbers flash sale.
The new version of BQ's Aquaris E4.5 smartphone is the first chance for the public to buy a phone running the Ubuntu operating system. It will be sold in a series of flash sales, each lasting for a limited time period. The details of the first sale will be announced on Tuesday 10 February on Ubuntu's Twitter, Google+ and Facebook pages and BQ's Twitter account bqreaders.
Best known as an alternative operating system for PCs that aren't Windows or Apple Mac computers, Ubuntu is open source and beloved of developers and tinkerers. It is developed by British company Canonical, which plans to expand the operating system's reach to other devices such as phones, tablets, smart devices and even drones.
The BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition is an alternative to iPhone and Android and will be available in Europe.
