I've placed an order for an ubuntu phone. An Aquaris e5. I dont even have it yet and im feeling a bit of buyer's remorse. Mainly because there is no Whatsapp or Uber client for it. I can't find working ports either.

Do you know of work around? can you dual boot it to cyanogen?

    You can try https://sublevel.net on it as well as other web based apps.

    Have you tried the Uber mobile website http://m.uber.com ?

    Can't you send it back within 15 days if you don't like it?

    TIL people have very different priorities to me when it comes to buying a smartphone.
