$3 million done. That One day offer is really helping I guess. Only 203 spots left.

They should have had it at a USD 1/5 increase per hour

Awesome hardware!

They say that they would pick the best hardware available at the time of spec finalization so nothing is confirmed right now. But by May 2014, these might not be as spectacular.

So only 4G?

 

[Sushubh]

errm. it should have backward compliance.
they are developing a phone that would work throughout the world. so i am assuming all major bands would be supported.

The Ubuntu Edge is an open device, not locked to any particular network. It works in all countries that provide GSM/3G/LTE-based network services. It will also support the two LTE standards to provide 4G mobile broadband connectivity around the world (subject to network availability and data fees). Before launch we will conduct interoperability testing with networks in Europe, the US, South America, China, India, the Middle East and Africa. This is a normal step in the process of developing a mobile device.

$3,552,884 right now.
This is still the first day.

Keeping the same speed, it might just complete the target before the due date.
Also someone raised a valid point yesterday. If it plans to include 4GB RAM, chances are it will have to go for an Intel processor. There is no other option available otherwise. Or it will have to alter the specs or change the schedule.

ARM mobile processors are not 64bit yet? :
