| Tm_T | ikmaak: I recall they silently disappeared 2016/2017 | 08:22 |
|---|---|---|
| Tm_T | my memory isn't the best so need try find sources | 08:23 |
| ikmaak | thanks! i would like to find more info about that. | 08:23 |
| ikmaak | at the time i even tried to get my hands on one... | 08:24 |
| Tm_T | "sold out" 2016? https://web.archive.org/web/20160128110152/http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/devices | 08:25 |
| ikmaak | i wonder if they sold a lot of them, and to whom :) | 08:25 |
| Tm_T | I don't personally recall anyone buying one, maaaybe one pro 5 buyer but only maybe | 08:29 |
| ikmaak | i expect them to be used by businesses internally... | 08:30 |
| Tm_T | which would explain their disappearance, similar to openmoko neo | 08:31 |
| ikmaak | the openmoko was used by some oil companies if i recollect correctly | 08:32 |
| ikmaak | which would correlate with the markets the meizu devices were sold. | 08:36 |
| Tm_T | key difference was with Openmoko that it was (mostly) open hardware so you could use it as a base board for wide range of custom applications | 08:44 |
| Tm_T | the Neo Freerunner case even had space left for additional sensors for that purpose | 08:44 |
| ikmaak | ow? i did not know that. i would need to get them out of the drawer again to look... :) | 08:45 |
| ikmaak | hmm, i seem to remember something about it, but haven't played with it in a while. | 08:49 |
| ikmaak | also, does anyone know if the fairphones are sold with ubports preinstalled, or are they libhybris devices that need self install? | 08:55 |
| ikmaak | on the fairphone site i can see no mention of ubports preinstalled | 08:57 |
| ikmaak | on the model 4 at least | 08:57 |
| ikmaak | i cannot find any info about fairphone selling preinstalled ubports | 09:01 |
| ikmaak | and all fairphones also seem to be halium devices, is that correct? | 09:05 |
