In a yesterday's article we reported that the sales of the first started Ubuntu smartphone, and as all seems to be the shortest sales in history.
We still don't know how many Appliances were sold and how many managed to get at least one BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu smartphone Edition. Το μόνο που ξέρουμε σύμφωνα με μια δήλωση της κατασκευάστριας εταιρείας BQ στη σελίδα on Google+ is that the company was receiving about 12.000 orders per minute!
"We experienced a huge demand this morning, as we had over 12.000 orders per minute and unfortunately, our servers did not lift the load and fell.
We only had a limited number of devices for sale. More will be available for sales to be made during the month.
Please note that all orders for Ubuntu smartphones they won't be delivered until March anyway," BQ said on Google+.
According to the company, initial sales were stopped due to some issues presented to the server that could not accept the workload.
The first sale began at 9 in the morning CET (Central European Time) and ended prematurely three hours later. Because some devices were available, BQ decided to make a second sale at 15: 00 CET, which lasted exactly 10 minutes.
Η BQ υποσχέθηκε ότι θα γίνουν περισσότερες πωλήσεις αυτό το μήνα, διαβεβαιώνοντάς τους ότι όλες οι αγορές θα παραδοθούν τον Μάρτιο. Επί του παρόντος, η συσκευή πωλείται μόνο σε πολίτες της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, αλλά η Canonical plans to launch Ubuntu smartphones in the US market in the next six months, according to the company's VP of mobile devices Cristian Parrino.
