If it's running Linux, it should have more freedom than my android device. Can you pop off the back cover and replace the battery, or is it sealed and hard to replace like most modern phones? I'm taking for granted that we'll have access to a MicroSD card slot as well.
The price will be approx $150. The OS it will ship with will likely be Ubuntu Touch, running mainline kernel (current development uses 5.0 rc). The battery will be user replaceable - privacy switches will also be located under the back-cover. Yes, there is a mSD slot that can be used for storage, but its also bootable in case you want to try out a build without erasing eMMC.
