It doesn't give me any benefit over a regular smartphone right now... But for $700 up front, and $24/month, you think Humane "did not deserve" a bad review? For $700 and a subscription, one does not get to be "aspirational", that shit better work. Apple released a device 17 years ago for very similar pricing, the world thought it would flop, and that device actually worked as advertised.

    Okay, but I'm honestly not sure about > the world thought it would flop My personal bubble was absolutely raving about the iPhone. (Although I personally was heavily flirting with the Palm Pre at the time)

      Fair enough; "the world" might have been too broad a statement. The first-gen iPhone certainly had its share of critics, though, starting with the price of $500-ish (IIRC) when all other phones were subsidized by carriers in the U. S., and Edge connections speeds when 3G was becoming a thing. But a quick flip to another Wikipedia page says it received mostly positive reviews, so maybe my bubble needs recalibrating. :-)
