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"?)

I basically disagree and your idea about putting more control in the hands of users is undermined by the entire adtech industry having the singular aim of undermining your self control.

wouldn't loading a minimalist OS onto the phone and just not installing those apps accomplish the same thing?
