I repeat the question asked earlier. Do Honami will have oleophobic layer? In the case of almost perfect in every way smartphone misunderstanding would have happened if the layer did not hold.

How is Sony planning to announce Honami? Would it be like how Samsung and Apple do it, a big solo event? I'd want them to announce the phone right after Nokia Lumia EOS, I'd want the Honami to murder the hype of the Nokia rival right away.

Ubuntu and hardware support: agreed, and that is why if supported by sony, it would at least work perfectly on the sony xperias and or vaio. Again, i would not brick a honami to play with ubuntu and loose the camera function. As a non dev, i need makers to ship ubuntu.
App ecosystem: it is clear that any new os will have issues to compete with ios and android. But honestly i think it will not stay like this forever (sorry to state the obvious) and makers should start build new things. Not everyone uses more than 15 core apps on a smartphone, and open source apps on pcs are increasingly replacing all commercial apps i was using.
Ubuntu lacks as an os: i do not disagree, i always had issues running ubuntu as a whole. My main pc is a mac, and my second older pc runs mint xfce. Mint runs very well on old hardware, it shows what pc makers could do if they wanted.
I think this is a very interesting time, windows is phasing out, android showed that linus coul be credible and makers have choices, and many are eyeing apple success. You have amazon and kindle android fork, you have samsung with tizen, even though i did not get what their content is. And if you think about sony, they have tons of content, music, movies, and ebooks and games. It is not a full ecosystem but it is a good start, i wish they create software optimised for their hardware and open to apps and open source applications.

Ubuntu lacks in many ways as an OS. For one there aren't many applications and the ones that do exist can't be compared to Windows counter parts. There is no app to replace Photoshop, Maya 3D etc.
Sorry for off topic, but actually there is an alternative to photoshop in ubuntu, that is GIMP. As for Maya 3D there is Blender 3D for Ubuntu which after seeing works done in Blender 3D I could say it has the same or even better potential than Maya 3D. Some 3D modelers even say Blender 3D is even better than 3ds Max or Maya. For browsers there is also Firefox for linux. For media Player there is VLC for ubuntu, so yeah it's almost there as an OS for the typical user but I agree it definitely needs more polishing and support done to it specifically to its compatibility, but the potential is there.
As for Sony making a phone running ubuntu mobile in the future, I will definitely be interested in it, as long as it will run butter smooth and as open as android allowing bluetooth transfers/USB mass storage I think it'll be a great alternative to android, It'll be like the replacement for the now obsolete symbian.

Blender 3d does in no way compare to Maya, nor does Gimp to Photoshop. I've used both. Also there are many more options on Windows for better video playback than horrid VLC.
If Honami is launching in July when is Sony finalizing everything? Last we heard I think the software was behind schedule.

Agree with gimp not being up to par on photoshop, but Blender? I've seen works done on it and definitely has the potential as a 3D modeling program both for typical and professional users, it all depends on how much you know how to use it's tools. As for VLC being horrid true for a power user who likes a lot of filter tweaking, but for typical user it should get the job done on Ubuntu, as for windows me personally I don't use VLC for my Hi10p mkv.
EDIT:
I know I got off topic sorry about that, so I'll just ask a question regarding Honami, @Randomuser does Honami have a lens cover just like those on the old
cybershot phones? sorry if this has been asked before.
