You can't expect them to release it at EXACT 00:00...
Atleast I don't think so ;c
U can't expect my link to be serious ya?

Man it'd be cool if they did midnight though, that's only half an hour away!

Don't know if you guys have seen this but it's looking like there's going to be a lot of limitations to what can be done with the developer preview that's going to be on offer, i the video shown you can't even add your own contacts to the people section, it's all sample data.
I was aware of this myself but based on some of the posts in this thread it seemed like some of the guys were expecting a fully functional ROM.
I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of "Ubuntu touch sucks" threads tomorrow, because of this. Sadly, people don't read :/
How to go back to Android?For people wondering about install (tried with TWRP):
1. Nandroid backup
2. Factory Reset
3. Grab quantal-preinstalled-armel+maguro.zip (MD5: e4c9c5601019ec7ce24f43f317361982) and quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip (MD5: edd3c43909a6e73ac254b2673d40cc53) from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/quantal/mwc-demo/
4. Flash quantal-preinstalled-armel+maguro.zip
5. Flash quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip (this one will take a while, grab some coffee :laugh
6. Reboot (screen will go black but after a few seconds Ubuntu is up)
7. Profit :highfive:
This install didn't wiped my sdcard. I just restored my TWRP backup after a short Ubuntu testdrive.
If you are paranoid, just copy your stuf from SDCARD to your PC before flashing.
It's as easy as flashing a new rom... you flash ubuntu from cwm and you have ubuntu, go back to the recovery and flash android or your backupOnly question I have, if I load this onto my Galaxy Nexus, how easy will it be to re-install Android if I don't like it?
If Canonical get this right then more people might give it a try, if getting Android back is to differ-cult then not sure I'll attempt it.
Installing Ubuntu on your phone is very easy, you can do this from cwm...Canonical just announced their mobile OS called Ubuntu Mobile
Now, you're probably wondering why I put this in the GNex general.
Let me tell you.
The dev phone at this phase for UM is the one and only, Galaxy Nexus.
As seen here: http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/02/ubuntu-for-smartphones/
And in pretty much every picture of it on http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone
I made this thread for discussion, speculation and the likes
So, how long do you think until the first build is avalable for us?
