When is Ubuntu Phone/Touch coming to the U.S.? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

There are hints of a new manufacturer that will make it available to the U.S. Who, what, and actually when is anyone's guess.

If you want a retail everyday phone, it would be best to buy one from a manufacturer preinstalled. However if you are a developer, there are supported images for Nexus 4, and community images for the Nexus 5. Most of the other community ports have fallen behind.

And no, because of the complexity of how the drivers work for phones, there needs to be separate images for every device.

Even you buy one of the currently selling BQ phones, it will not work with 3G or 4G speeds, so as a consumer in the U.S. don't try to get one now. It seems you can now get these shipped to the US.
