I am confused by the difference - if any - between the 'Ubuntu on 
android' and the proposed Ubuntu (OS) phone?

I have a Samsung galaxy S3 android phone, which is near to a top of 
the range item, and I would like to make use of this in a ubuntu way, 
and not have to await another  different phone in a year's time....
