Ubuntu is by far not an OS for mobile phones, however, the latest handsets have hardware configuration which will allow users to run a desktop or netbook OS on mobile phones, few of them being the which can run Debian.

Ubuntu on HTC Touch Pro2

Now, Pocket Now, has come across a user who has been able to install and run Ubuntu on a HTC Touch Pro2. Having a desktop OS run on a mobile handset is definitely a great achievement, and kudos to the XDA forum members for achieving this.

Take a look at the video below to see Ubuntu in action on a HTC Touch Pro2 device.

    Firstly it's pronounced; oo-boon-too
    Secondly, that is a very hacked up version of Ubuntu because Abi-Word is not Ubuntu's default word processor and i have never seen that calendar bug before.
    Although it's nice to know that this can be done, I think Ubuntu Netbook Edition would be a better OS to try out since it is made for smaller screens, maybe not smart-phone small but it would certainly be an improvement.
