Ouh! Nice.
Notice that bq phones with UT and tables were sold during 2015 (I know because I happen to become a 10 years user the OS this month! Or it was last month? Maybe I can check the call log on the device XD)

@CiberSheep February 9 2015 for the bq 4.5: https://web.archive.org/web/20150209170456/http://www.gadget-nations.net/2015/02/ubuntu-based-first-smartphone-e45-Announced.html
I got it for my birthday in March 2015.

@libremax ouh! Thanks. I got my first quite later. Nearly the end of the year.
Edit: Ah! Yes, I got the E5HD that came out around june: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BQ_Aquaris_E5

I got my (x2) BQ Aquaris 4.5 on the day of release. I spammed that buy button and got 2 before they all sold out. I used it as a daily driver for quite a bit (didn't Internet bank then or (have to) use Microsoft Authenticator) back then, the other was for demonstrating. Loved Scopes and would like to see them come back again. I still have one device (on Xenial) which will soon be defunct as a phone as 3G and 2G are going soon.

Loved Scopes

Ouh. I tend to forget them. When I kind of understood the use of some, they were ditched. I mean, I thought they would have more interested for me as «rss readers», like a sink of types of messages...

Happy memories, that was the start of my 10-year switch to Ubuntu Touch phones. With more and more people getting unhappy with Google and Apple, there must be a great opportunity for some manufacurer and retailer to offer for sale a great off-the-shelf UT phone now?

For the moment we can already congratulate ourselves for

the consistency of Volla, which has been producing and marketing UT-embedded devices for 6 years and promoting them on its website,
the new partnership with Brax tech, whose launch of the Brax3 was a success, and the forthcoming availability of UT on this device.
