I had that phone also, anytime anyone would see it outside they would marvel at how large it is. Now I have a fold which is even bigger when unfolded. The dell streak from what I remember feels like an s23u would be similar size to it but it was probably larger due to bezels and the aspect ratio
I believe their other readers work with moon+ reader and other apps. I was debating getting one of the color ones and if you can deal with the slow refresh rate of eink and some apps not being optimized with page flashes etc, then it’s a good choice. Also interested in this as a beach “phone” to be able to easily bring it when it’s super bright out and have a readable display.
I feel the same way used to love hangouts, tried allo. But at this point I don’t even use rcs because although it’s “open” no third party developers can make apps for it. Using matrix with bridges via beeper is how I integrate all my chats now and makes life way easier
Do you use stock messagease? I found the old app a little ugly but the way the keyboard works is great. Haven’t used it for a bit now but was so much faster on it than any other software keyboard
