There are a few things a "Phone" must have. Making calls and sending SMS should work just as well as a working calendar and a web browser.
A Smartphone has some additional features like a Apps witch automatise recurring processes. Currently the Ubuntu Phone is UNUSABLE; transmitted SMS can not be tracked, the calendar can not be synced, the web browser has no privacy options (what makes it unusable), contacts can not be imported in a easy way and now I've found out that the syncing of the calendar is lacking for two years... since the ubuntu edge I was waiting for a phone which I can trust in I was not using mail on android an I did not store any private data like calendar sync on the phone AND I was hoping that al this would be possible with a trustworthy ubuntu phone But now I have realised that non of all this is possible... presently I'm switching back to android :-( because: *the few unsynced calendar entry’s are flashing until I recognise them, so I don't have to miss my appointments. *I can see weather the recipient has received a SMS or not *Firefox with its privacy options is and privacy addons is available *Threema and other secure messengers which do not ask for my phone number are available *I can easily mange my contacts *the battery is lasting for 5 days while the ubuntu phone is lasting only 1,5 days under the same conditions *The battery has to be charged every day, otherwise you can not be sure that the clock is ringing on the next morning :-( After powering up the ubuntu phone for the first time, I was occupied with uninstalling "Third party SHIT" By now I was not able to remove things like Amazon, Facebook-Photos and Yahoo. I am wondering why there is so much useless sh... on this Phone while the very basic features do not work. I am sorry, I don't want to be rude and I don't want hurt somebody but this all was depressing me so much and this was hurting me while writing this text because I am a big fan of Ubuntu and the open source spirit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1199774 Title: needs DAV and ICAL support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calendar-app/+bug/1199774/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
