Canonical temporarily lowered prices for pre-order Ubuntu Edge

On July 22, a note appeared on Habré that Canonical decided to raise $ 32 million to produce a powerful smartphone, with Ubuntu on board. At the same time, information was published that you can get a pre-order smartphone by making a payment of $ 800. In general, a little expensive, and, most likely, the funds were not collected very quickly. Having decided to somehow inspire fans of their products, the Canonical team made a limited offer. Yesterday, pre-order could be made for only $ 600 (a limit of 5 thousand copies). Today - it is possible to get a smartphone at 625, or 675, or a higher price.

This proposal is still relevant, but the limit of 1,250 smartphones at a reduced price may end at any time. In general, the limit is not so small, about 30 thousand people can get smartphones at a reduced price.

It is worth noting that even $ 830 is not very high, as the buyer gets a device with 4 GB of RAM, 128 GB of internal memory, a sapphire display and other goodies for the money. And yes, this device will work with both Android OS and Ubuntu OS. In addition, the phone can be connected to a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse can be connected to the phone, and, in fact, work on a desktop PC with Ubuntu Linux. Good prospect for lovers of mobility.

Apparently, there are a lot of connoisseurs of such products, since more than 5 million of the planned 32 million US dollars have already been collected. There is still a lot of time, because there are 28 days left until the end of the fees.
