Hate to say I told you so....

Just looking at the specs, there are better Android One devices out there for a cheaper price too.
And they have a better user interface plus a big ecosystem.

I mean $195 is what they're charging for this?!?
That's the same price as a Moto G.
And going one better, you could grab the Sharp Crystal which is even better than the Moto G (or Moto E or Android One devices) for only a stunning $150 !!!

In fact, you can buy for $199 a mint condition 16GB version of Samsung Galaxy S4.... phenomenal value!
It's not even far from $299 where a brand-new OnePlus One resides.

Is Canonical that arrogant to think they could warrant a high-price simply because it has their label ?
They'd have a better chance selling this in Africa, India, China, South America for the $50 that it is worth.

Hopefully we'll get something (A LOT) better in the near future.
