Good luck installing Ubuntu onto your phone. The phone will probably already have Android (which is, of course, Linux) — so, soon you will be a Linux user! I hope you enjoy it. Let us know how the process goes.
Always make regular backups of your data (and test them). Visit Full Circle Magazine for beginners and seasoned Linux enthusiasts.
I recently bought Nexus 4 from Google, so would be looking forward to try Ubuntu Phone out.

If I could get terminal access into the full Ubuntu operating system (or Fedora, or Debian, etc. for that matter if it was available) on a phone, I would buy my first smartphone. Just give me a command prompt so I can write code and access other devices via wifi on a device that I can carry in my pocket. I would just buy an unlocked phone (now that unlocking is illegal) and might not even subscribe to phone service.

I found this interesting with the phone OS. Is Canonical Working on New, Custom Display Server for Unity?

I spoke to someone over skype and twitter that states he has a manufactured phone (similar to what they demo'd at CES) from China that is running the Ubuntu OS. He says it's awesome and he can dock it and it becomes a full featured desktop. I really wanted to get my hands on it but he said it's illegal because the phone supports 3 different SIM chips. I really wanted him to send it to me so I could create a youtube video for my channel but he won't. Maybe after the image is released by Canonical he will

IIRC the phone they demo'd at CES was a Galaxy Nexus, anyway.
It would be great having hardware switches to turn off phone modem and wireless. It will work longer ( on battery ) and can be used by kids with no fear of big bill or possible radiation risk.
