    If that does android auto, then it looks pretty ideal for me when it’s a little more polished. All the other options reduce the functionality that I actually need to curb the bits I want to be rid of. This looks like it might just downgrade the experience of those bits while still being the useful tool that a smartphone should be

      There are some phones with 2 (e-ink and IPS i think) displays in a traditional phone packaging, if that’s up your alley.

        This really would surprises me. The article explicitly mentions it “has a compass”, which I also interpret as “it has no gps”. And Android Auto to my knowledge relies on the phone for this, not the car. So you can probably start the app and link the car, but I highly doubt it’s actually usable?

        That really kills any of my interest is the fact that it doesn’t even have optimized battery life yet. Like what else would be the point of using eInk then? Also 400 dollar introductory price, apparently 500 later? That’s a big ask…

    “Let us share your data with 9999 of our partners”

    Yeah I’m just going to block shitty websites that do this from now on.

      Your going to be blocking a large part of the internet.

      And even sites that don’t have this notice share your data with random spyware companies, they just don’t tell you about it.
