We have some amazing news for you guys if you're in the market for an Ubuntu Phone, as both Canonical and BQ have confirmed a few minutes ago on their Twitter accounts that limited Ubuntu phones will be available for you to buy tomorrow, February 11, 2015, between 9am and 6pm CET (Central European Time).

The phone created by BQ is an Aquaris E4.5 running the mobile version of the world’s most popular free operating system, Ubuntu. The web page you want to bookmark for checking the availability of Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition is http://www.bq.com/gb/ubuntu.html (for English users) and http://www.bq.com/es/ubuntu.html (for Spanish users).

There you will get a complete description of the device, as well as of its specifications, which include a qHD (540x960) 240 ppi (HDPI) 4.5 inch display, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, a MediaTek Quad Core Cortex A7 processor running at 1.3 GHz, 1GB RAM, and 2150 mAh Li-ion battery.

In addition, you can also buy Bq's exclusive Ubuntu Phone case accessory from http://www.bq.com/gb/accessories-aquaris-e4-5-ubuntu.html. Once again, we have no idea how many devices will be available on this limited flash sale, so make sure that you wake up early tomorrow morning and refresh the BQ website until the item becomes available for purchase. The phone costs €169.90 ($192). Good luck and don't forget to post a comment here if you've got one!
