When i’m outside and it’s really bright, then I will no longer STRAIN to read the screen
It’s terrible, I have a Droid Incredible 2, and yeah it’s ‘readable’ in bright light, but the sun will be seen in the reflection and it’s BLINDING, same issue with the iPad < the iPad is even worse!!!

If I have to make an emergency call, I don't want to strain to read the screen, I WANT TO MAKE THE CALL!!!
Plus since I won't have a shit ton of apps on an e ink smart phone, it will hopefully run much faster, and boot faster, so that if there IS an emergency, it won't take 10 – 15 seconds to get to a call log some times.

The only issues is no back– or front light. either one, there ***NEEDS*** to be a light!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a PHONE that will hopefully be used to CALL PEOPLE, so what if someone calls me at… 12PM at night, how the hell am I gonna answer it? Do I have to get up and turn on a lamp to press answer?
If a warm white // like orange // led light was built in to light the screen at night, that would be GREAT and I would **NOT** hesitate to get this phone. Without a built in light, I'm not sure it's a good idea.

With the price tag around 60-80 USD it could be a great phone for emerging markets.

OK: The first example of eInk display phone, about MONTH of run time between charging….at least a week’s use between charges… Amazing.

I carry and kindle and a phone and that is just silly. If i could merge the two i would be very happy
