Those of you who wants a Linux phone should take a look at this:

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge/x/4047953?c=home

They just opened new perks at lower prices (limited to 1250 units each) at
$625, $675 and $725.
Each price tier is limited to 1250 phones, and they run out quickly. They
sold more than 100 phones over the past hour in the $625 price tier.

Earlier (2 days ago) they started their campaign with 5000 units at $600
for one day only, and it sold out before the end of the day (I ordered one).

This is by far the most ambitious crowd funded project I have seen (target
is $32M in ~30 days, they are now at $3.7M with 29 days left).
