Ubuntu phone on FP1, (similar hardware as the Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu)

This is the first time I hear anyone claim that.

There is indeed this heise online article (I’m not sure, if it is the one, @GT-Eins is referring to) from February 2016, which states the following:

Auch beim ersten Fairphone hat das Unternehmen die Hoffnung noch nicht aufgegeben, doch noch ein neueres Android und alternative Betriebssysteme bereitzustellen und arbeite immer noch an einer Lösung, heißt es.

English translation: Even with the first Fairphone the company hasn’t given up hope yet to provide a newer Android and alternative OSes and is still working on a solution.

I still think that there is a theoretical possibility that there can be a Ubuntu Touch port for the FP1 because we have already experienced two community ports on an Android Kitkat codebase (CM11 and Kitkat 4.4.4 by @chrmhoffmann) and I can’t imagine why a company, which could pay a developer full time for porting an OS and has obtained the software licenses to be legally able to, couldn’t come up with alternative OSes.
