A 4" e-ink phone that I hadn't heard of before. Seems like a promising low-distraction semidumb phone.

Unfortunately, it seems to be based on Android 12 (eol) with no upgrades in sight.

addiction isnt something to pay 440 for. addiction is something to work on yourself or with someone who specializes in mental health.

i have experienced addiction. smart phone addiction is a mild one and its completely breakable by changing one's own habits.

people are capable of it. they're just lazy. shelling out 440 bucks for a gimmick that makes them feel like they're helping themselves doesn't seem like a healthy thing to do for one's addiction.
