    I'll make another video after I have a few days to use it. Leave a comment if there's anything specific you'd like to know!

      Hi! These are some things I would like to see in a review:
      - call quality
      - battery life
      - Google maps
      - any major issues
      Is the screen freezing up, is it getting really hot? Thanks

      I'd love to know how the navbar works. Can you use it like arrow keys while typing longform so you dont have to tap around the screen when editing documents?

    I think I want one of these. I need at some point to switch to a low distraction phone, but still need to be able to run apps for my car and bank and stuff.

    I loved the concept but after watching a few videos I can tell this device is not well optimized for the eink form factor. Sad

    Just an observation of watching several reviews now. It sounds like most people reviewing it sound disappointed after testing out the actually usage of it.

    Good video. I don't trust the 3000mAh battery. E-ink consumes more energy than people think. I also don't like those thick screen frames.

    Can you compare the keyboard with any Blackberry device (Q10, KeyOne, KeyTwo.) Have you ever owned a keyboard phone?

      @@spiceman54jIn the demo they released, it looks like you can just keep raising and pressing your finger during calibration until it continues. Basically the partial fingerprint graphic that normally shows up in the center seems not to render.

      It was a valid question. It's not really that minimal seeing as the only thing they've removed is colour.

      The premise of the phone is that it's boring but full featured. For me I need all apps like Authenticator apps, Spotify, etc. But I don't want any flashy aspects. It's perfect.

      except for example here in italy there is only LTE network and not a single BB phone (except from the KeyONE/2) are working. I love BB, but I can't even call reliably with my older BBs
