Ah ok, so instead of minimizing your own usage by uninstalling apps and such, you're getting help from the device's physical inability to use those apps and, thus, remove the temptations. Ok, cool! That's actually a pretty nice use of the tech!

It is not cheap, but it looks amazing! That's my dilemma, I'm not sure if I'd use it enough to justify the price for me. But I really want to haha
I didn't miss it, it's just not something I would give up other needed functionality over. It also has a 3.5mm audio jack, which I also terribly miss, but, again, not something I would add if I had to give up a good camera, for example (bad example, since I know phones can have both, but the manufacturers just choose not to). Your soft keyboard sounds hellish, honestly. Not sure if it's a possibility for you, but you may want to look at others (obviously, none will be as good as a physical keyboard, but maybe you can get something better than you have now).
What a “use case” when it’s at home?
I don't understand what you're asking. Can you elaborate?
Images you can hear lol
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.
I don't either. From what you say, it sound great to me.
