  1. Ubuntu for Phone, has not been released to install in Samsung Galaxy Nexus phones yet. It has been rumored that it will be released towards the end of Feb 2013 as a developer platform. This means that it will not be 100% fully functional for general public yet.

    Ubuntu for the Nexus 7 TABLET is available now. This is the Ubuntu Desktop version not for Gnex Phone.

  3. Right now, there is no way to install Ubuntu for Phones - the one that was announced yesterday. Regular Ubuntu can be installed officially only on ASUS Nexus 7, not on Samsung Galaxy Nexus. There is a way to install Ubuntu with "chroot", which makes Ubuntu run "inside" Android. That's relatively slow. Very slow. And many apps won't run, as the system won't have enough memory.
