I actually don't know, I need you to help me.
This phone has to be the world's simplest phone. Only calls, no texting. Big number keys and - this is so cute- an actual paper address book with a tiny pen.
Look at it. I mean, really, look at it. It is absolutely adorable. After you are done gushing, let us revisit the offering here.
No screen, which means you can't see who you are about to suffer for the next 45 minutes. That's what kills it for me. Next, no texting, and I am not sure that is even minimalist - personally, I'd rather text than talk. More effort, so I am encouraged to keep things brief.
*My bad - caller number is indeed displayed, on the top of the phone. See this for a detailed review.
The pen and paper book is clearly a gimmick. But, incredibly, won't it do?
Battery life of 3 weeks? Whoppa, that's impressive.
Now wait for it: 100 of your best greenbacks for this guy. Really? 100 dollars?
Which brings me to a deeper question. Unless you move into a cave, and probably even then, you will use email. In that sense, is a smart phone, say an iPhone actually a truer minimalist solution? 1 light weight fix for most of my tech needs. (Full disclosure: I own a Blackberry curve *blush*)
What do you guys think?
I am still interested to see a text only phone, by the way.
