Hah, just noticed what that was all about, love it, we need to try something like that in Oz, I reckon it'd really take off!*
We don't have roads that are in such a bad state, that drivers feel compelled to use the side-walks.
But we certainly do have overly aggressive drivers, drivers who do ridiculously crazy/stupid things, & put everyone at risk.
In situations like that, I'd love to round up posse & enact some vigilante justice...

*although I'm not sure we have enough people with nothing better to do

The flash sale today went on for most of the advertised period.

SO, either they made a bundle by having many units on offer, or interest waned substantially. Or a bit o' both?

I decided not to BUT to buy a 2nd hand Nexus4 and install on that. A few vids show that it is marginally slower on the Nexus4 than the BQ Aquaris E4.5 and that should be enough to give it a spin. Better h/w beckons...

I thought Ubuntu's "official" support was for the N5, is it the N4? (damn my memory)
Any idea what support for the N5 is like? I wanna get the N5 & wack Sailfish/Ubuntu on it.
Sailfish support of the N5 is pretty poor compared to N4, if it doesn't improve markedly in the next ~3mth maybe I'll just -reluctantly- get a N4.

It seems the nexus4 is the best choice. Appears that most systems on the Nexus4 work.

The first link has info down the page that the Nexus5 has power management issues :-(

Figuring wots wot on other devices is a nightmare (see even further down on 1st link). I selected a few and most seem broken in some or other area I would prefer to have working.

Ubuntu Touch officially supports Nexus 4. Not Nexus 5 (it is a community port).
