Pros: - A real linux OS phone, more open than Android - Ubuntu getting more popularity - Gives Apple, Google, MS less control/power, users more diversity

Cons: - Canonical likes making big mistakes (mandatory Unity interface, Amazon search/spyware integration)

Who needs a WM anyway? Just use the console.

./call 01
