Might still be some left. Phone specs aren't awesome but it's a good price and I'm really interested to see how Linux on a phone pans out.
Not really seeing where they're going with this if I'm honest, other than "because they can." Interesting though.

Android is based on the Linux core.
1. Take a pretty poor low-end Android phone.
2. Put a worse OS on it.
3. Sell for rather more than better budget Android phones like the Moto G.
4. ???

Think Canonical have a longer term view. They keep mentioning their magic word 'convergence', which for them seems to mean same OS on every device regardless of portability or application.
Think the main difference with the Linux phone as opposed to Android is that it's not a mobile-specific OS, but is 'proper' Linux?
Intrigued by the interface too. Hiding apps from the user and grouping stuff by content or context.
