Impulse bought a Datarover from eBay a few years ago. The device itself is an ugly grey box, but Magic Cap is a delight. In fact, if the backlight hadn’t have died I’d still be using it as a landline phone. Full of delight, something that modern OSes are sorely missing. Little touches like being able to drop a little animated worm in the hallway and watch it crawl about - and it still being there when you come back later. It’s a real shame that a decade ago, when incumbent phone makers were scrambling around trying to find a response to iOS, no one dusted it off and updated it for the modern world. Would have been such a contrast to the standard grid of boring icons.
