10 reasons why I support the Ubuntu Edge and you should to

Thanks to all the support and interest in the Ubuntu Edge, they have been able to negotiate the price of the components and have just reduced the price of the phone to only $695, there haven't been a better time than now to support this project!




  1. Support a new movement and prove that crowd funding can compete against big companies.
  2. Be among the first to get your hands on a real super phone. The spec of the phone can still improve, but is already impressive and who knows maybe it will be more powerful than the MacBook Air in the end.
  3. Designed to be used with one hand, this is the reason it's 4.5" instead of 5", the perfect size will differ between people but I like the fact that they prioritize the usage of the device rather than the spec on paper.
  4. A phone with specs which has a purpose: 300dpi is as good as normal printed paper, no need to go beyond than, instead they are promising to select the screen with the best picture quality and brightness.
  5. A camera that can be used, instead of getting the highest megapixels they will provide a camera which can take good photos even in low light.
  6. Scratch free crystal glass, it's currently to expensive for mass production but Cronical likes to push the envelope and give us the best possible glass which doesn't get scratched.
  7. Best battery, using new battery technology which is believed to increase the capasity with up to 40%, this could result in a phone which actually last more than one day without charging.
  8. If we don't like the phone Mark Shuttleworth offer us to return the phone within 28 days for a full refund (shipping excluded).
  9. I was among the first to buy the iPhone and the Android G1, both devices which I could have sold at a great profit when I got my hands on them. I'm sure that the demand for this phone will be equally great when it arrives especially since you have to be a backer to get your hands on it. With a bit of luck my second phone might pay the bill for the first one, getting a super phone for free sounds like a good deal to me.
  10. If the phone sucks and I can't sell the second phone I can always return them both for a refund and will end up spending about 50 euro (including shipment, missed intrest etc) and if the project doesn't hit the target I won't have spent a dime to support support this great project with a great vision, sounds like a low risk deal to me.

Together we can enable the Ubuntu edge to evolve and we can finally together assist in deciding how future super phones should look.

Go on to the campaign site at Indiegogo and back the project yourself before it's to late.
