There are currently no new pre-installed Ubuntu touch devices available though that will probably change when the Pine phonelPine phone becomes available. So yes until that arrives it will need be one of these devices https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/
Personally I use the OPO on a daily basis but also have a nexus5. These two tend to be the easiest to get hold of and are now relatively cheap from various online sources.
As this is an old thread and Dalton has already answered this question I think it's time to lock this topic.
@Kelvin-Cheung i just tested the link and it worked for me with Firefox on Mint

Tried copying the article but it was confusing with bits missing. Can try again later if needed.

@peprolinbot Hi thanks for your interest but In case you missed it this threads last post was nearly a year ago. It is best to not reply to such old threads also your last post was nothing to do with the windows version of the installer so I have removed it. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
Currently looking at VPNs and got fed up with review after review of which is best and why all different results. So thought I would ask our community which works best for them on UT and Linux in general.
Just a quick recommendation, no great sales pitch would be a great help to me and maybe other community members. Thanks
@Dave I think most of those issues will have been covered already as the update to 16.04 is nearly a year old now. I would get upto date with everything and check all is ok and go from there. If you are still having issues please come back here for help.
@Dave Try changing the update channel to development and see what happens. Not sure why this hasn't updated as the release was months ago.
Edit: If that does not work try this https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1599/how-to-manually-upgrade-from-ota-3-to-ota-4 Please note the DO NOT choose WIPE warning.
@daedalus Installing Lineage first has help a few people out if you wanted to try that way, but try the vm first.
