Comment 10 for bug 1199774

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.
