Anybody have one of these gizmos? Seems a bit interesting to me although it also lacks a number of non-social smartphone features I like/use:

  • mapping/directions (apparently this is an optional feature, no idea about quality)
  • audiobooks (although maybe podcasts app can be used?)
  • signal/whatsapp
  • email (viewing email as addictive in 2024 is a bit quaint; remember "crackberries"?)
