This is the phone I have.

Me, too! I have had it quite a while - a couple of years. I have to have a smart phone for work, but it doesn't leave my apartment complex. If I have to go anywhere, I grab the light phone just in case I need to get ahold of someone. I wish payphones still existed.
The faces people make when you say you can't scan a code are great. The chick at Quest Labs asked to see my phone because 'all phones can do it' and I handed it to her and it was like I handed her alien tech.
Nice! How responsive is the screen? My kindle screen doesn't update very fast.
It's decent, but still e-ink. Recent firmware updates have made it better. The biggest challenge is bc it's small, accurate typing can be a challenge for those with thick fingers. I still like it
I came reeeeeally close to buying one about two or three years ago, but I watched a video showing the atrocious texting experience and decided not to buy. Given 2+ years of sw upgrades, how is the texting, now?
It is better. I've had it for about a year. It does also have a speech to text option you can enable.
That’s pretty neat. Thank you
They added an optional feature you can enable via dashboard to have pictures texted to you forwarded to an email address. Mine works that way. Someone sends me a picture, I get a little pic icon on the light phone, and can look at it when I check my email :)
