The paragraph focused on carriers in this article makes me wonder : can ubuntu mobile guarantee OEM won't install any uninstallable apps as well?

I only buy nexus phones precisely because I don't want the carriers and OEM stuff, they always have been a bad experience for me. I can see how "build your own bundle" is a selling point for carriers, but it's hardly one for users.

That being said, I'm excited to see a true linux mobile distro. I've tried it on my nexus 7 when most apps were placeholders, can't wait to see a viable one. Any chance to have dual boot?
