I have a Lenovo A588T, selected as the cheapest smart "flip phone" I could find: http://blog.tomw.net.au/2015/11/lenovo-a588t-android-flip-phone.html

I purchased this after enrolling in an m-learning course, when the instructor asked what smart phone and tablet the students had. I was embarrassed to admit I didn't have either, just a laptop (which was not "mobile" enough). So I went out and bought the Lenovo phone and an XO tablet, for my studies: http://www.tomw.net.au/masters_eportfolio/mlearning.shtml

However I believe there is, or was, a Ubuntu mobile phone ...

Superseded by Ubuntu Touch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Touch

But it has not been exactly enthusiastically received. There is also Firefox OS for mobiles, also not that popular: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS
