Happy ubuntu phone user here (E4.5) will probably skip the E5 and wait for the next one if it's beefier in spec.

The only gripes I have with Ubuntu touch atm are:

1) Lack of USB or Bluetooth tethering 2) Lack of USB or Bluetooth tethering 3) Lack of USB or Bluetooth tethering 4) Lack of FDE

Yep that works fine for my laptop. But I still need bluetooth tether for my android tablet. Sadly I still need that for essential apps (City Mapper, airline checkin apps, k9mail, chat secure)
