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"?)

Alternatively I could just get a linux phone where none of the social stuff actually works either, but for different reasons.
