Thanks for the link.

Well, well. Needs some perspective, this "review", I think.

"I was going to abandon by (sic) Blackberry and iPhone and just go with e-Ink."

Yes. That explains a lot.

They do have some points there (TTS and the (polish?) dictionary are not working but those are software things - CoolReader Free or Moon+ Free work fine with GoldenDict Free or ColorDict) but I can't really rate this as a serious review, rather it's a sloppy (sorry but I have to say that) review for people who don't even bother to look at the specifications on the webside of the sellers.

Regardless of the IMEI-problem I (and other users) can make calls alright so the "a phone you can't make calls with"- headline Nate came up with (and later thought of as not quite appropiate himself) is just wrong also.

Now, "GPS is broken" really says it all. Where do the goodereader-reviewers got the impression from that the device was ever intended to have GPS in the first place? No GPS on that device. Simple as that. (If you have to have GPS: Use an external GPS like RoyalTec GPS with bluetooth, install OsmAnd and Bluetooth GPS Provider on the E43 and you will know where you are. Works fine.)

As said before: This is a reader with phone functions. Not an android phone.
