Anyone remember Motorola making the world's first e-ink phone?[1] Hardware was great and sturdy while affordable, but its UX was a professional torture device and battery life was sub-par for the expectations of an e-ink device.
Not sure how I feel jumping into an e-ink phone train again in the age of today. A lot of modern communication is done via pics and videos in messaging apps, so having a slow grayscale display will suck.
