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"?)
  • RyanGosling [none/use name]

    I think it’s a gimmick for the “productivity motivational speech playlist hustler.” I think it’d be wiser to just get one of those semi dumb phones with a physical keypad from china or CAT. They give you navigation and necessary social media but it’s also annoying to use so it’d be less tempting to use all the time
