Cantook has 2/5 stars, but it actually looks really great

That Boox color looks amazing!

The marketing behind the minimalist phone is shady at best.

Oof. September? I really hope you get it before then! I wonder how many people had this doa issue with this batch. Maybe there's an issue with that manufacturer. Not really something you can control or probably find out, but it would be interesting to know.

If you want your current phone to do less, then just uninstall the apps that are sucking up your time.

Yeah, that was my thought, too, and why I missed the phones point. But OP pointed out that they wanted to use it as an ereader (like their current Kobo), and that use case seems absolutely perfect for this phone. As a magical device that gives you back time, this device looks to be nothing but marketing. But as a combination true eink ereader and smart-enough phone, this device seems perfect.

Oh your use case is awesome, actually. I bet there are good epub readers on Android, which would make this phone perfect for that use case. It is super sad it was doa. Hopefully they'll honor a replacement (faster than your original order), and you can start truly enjoying it.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the use case of this phone. Like, what's the benefit of this phone as compared to another smartphone, if used in a restrictive manner? Besides the eink, which, for me, is a huge seller.

Playing devil's advocate... Maybe guy 4 wanted to end the distracting-to-him back-and-forth and get back to work, but didn't want to seem rude, so he got chatgpt to do it. \(%)/

Edit: the shrug
