This is really what I have wanted for years. Signal is the key app for me to make the decision, and barring that, maybe a Matrix client. If this were to be my private, personal device that only close associates get the contact info for, I'd need those things. This was the gap that I think Punkt ( https://www.punkt.ch/en/ https://www.punkt.ch/en/ ) phones had, where they are for voice and minimal texting, with all the right design ideas, except voice as a thing is diminished becase younger people intuitively get that synchronous communication imposes opportunity costs on their time. I'd hypothesize that most people who prefer voice communications do not desire a quieter minimal experience, as they naturally seek the stimulation of a voice interaction and therefore also find the busyness of smartphones stimulating, but more people who prefer asynchronous text will pay a premium for a quiet minimal experience. Even if the messenger clients piece were done with optional physically removable storage, because I'm suspecting the initial market for this phone is an odd intersection of creative, upper income, either exec or self employed, who are above being subject to tech - so basically tech people. I could see it becoming a status thing, where nothing quite says FU money like being able to afford patience and manage your own time.
