First song honors for new iPod, trying to kick streaming to the curb
Yeah no there's definitely a cool factor. Just a warning for anyone wanting to buy one that regularly listens to new music, especially EDM or new emerging artists in any genre. Half the time you're spending converting random YT videos to mp3s just to listen to it. I recommend an e-ink phone heavily

Any updates on Hisense A10?
Lol, no offense but I already owned a bigme phone in the past (HiBreak Pro) those things are atrocious. One of the buggiest, most broken pieces of techs I have ever used in my life. And the company behind it doesn’t even care to fix them. There are some bugs (like the android auto dpi bug) present s

Which E-Ink Phone should i buy? (Advice wanted)
Bigme Hibreak Pro. I've had it a year, it works great (there were a lot of bugs in the beginning, but not anymore), it does everything a regular smartphone does but without being distracting. It's also a great e-reader and easy on the eyes. I prefer the b&w over the color because the screen is nicer

HiBreak Pro Color vs. Boox Palma 2 Pro: Does it actually work as a phone replacement?
I've been DD the bigme hibreak pro color for about 5 months. You can still mindlessly scroll, trust me. But, it's slightly less engaging, and more annoying and slower than a normal phone. Anything you want to do takes a little longer. You have to baby it. Based on other reports, It could break at an

Something that's helped me ditch the smartphone: making my own PDA.
Not sure if this is what Op uses but I've been running a Bigme HiBreak Pro (B&w) as my phone almost a year now and I love it - the software kinks are worked out now but the hardware isn't quite "mainstream phone manufacturer" levels of reliable yet so your mileage may vary

Boox Palma 2 Pro or HiBreak Pro Color
I often lurk the Bigme reddit and see many reports of their physical phone buttons that stop working or even falling off to a worrying frequency. Hi-Break by name... proceed with caution.

To those of you who have 2 e-readers, why do you keep both and what do you use each one for?
I have a Boox Page which I use when I am at home to read both e-pub and pdf files, but not the web novels. Since it is not as robust as a Kindle, it needs good protection when carried around. That's too inconvenient for me. I use my e-ink phone (a Bigme Hi break Pro) to read e-pub files and web nove

Eink phone
The choice is between the rather old Hisense A9 with horrific software out-of-the-box (that can be flashed with better software if you have the expertise) but rock solid hardware; or the Bigme HiBreak Pro which has pretty good software out-of-the-box (even if it feels perpetually in beta) but horrif

Big resume of several tests I did
Any screen with high brightness effects me. Adding a privacy screen protector does help reduce blue light + brightness (google or chat gpt it). I know about that bigme phone. I wouldn't get the hibreak pro because their screens break easily (do the research, you'll see). I wanted that phone to be th

Phone for two specific tasks
Hey! I looked into your idea and the best match is the Bigme HiBreak Pro (Color) — it’s a colour e-ink phone that runs Android, so you can scroll through inspiration photos and use a gallery app without losing that minimalist, designy look. The black-and-white HiBreak Pro is even smoother if you don
