For $300 I'd expect longer battery life and international band support. Old Nokia's were $50 and still usable in most of the world - this is a step backward. Look at the Galaxy Pocket Neo released for the African markets for instance, priced at less than $130 at release, had 3 days battery life and would be considered a modern smart phone. This on the other hand, has much less capability in a less robust form and costs double that.

>For $300 I'd expect longer battery life and international band support. Old Nokia's were $50 and still usable in most of the world - this is a step backward. 2g/3g probably works around the world. notice how they mentioned band 1/2/3/whatever support, which isn't used to describe 2g/3g frequencies. i'm guessing the only reason your nokia could work anywhere around the world is because there are only a few bands for 2g/3g. whereas there are a few dozen for lte.

Last Nokia (150, not sure) I have costs $30 or so and has a battery life of about 2 weeks with normal use. So yeah, I'd love e-Ink, but it should be worth it.
