Although I very much love my Ubuntu phone, and will continue to do so, I’ve come to accept that it’s very much work in progress. The concept’s brilliant and the phone’s so intuitive to use, so I’ve no plans to stop using it. And it’s great to be part of something from the beginning.

But I’ve, after a few months, accepted that I do need a phone that can do mainstream stuff. At least as an interim measure. So I bought an Android phone yesterday. It’s pretty decent, an HTC, and it, well, works.

It’s not as beautiful, or as nice to use as my Ubuntu phone though.
