I'm glad it's working for fozzedout, but i wouldn't get something like this because it just doubles the chance of the screen breaking (sorry, pdurrant) and there is no way for the phone to land right side up. Also, hybrid devices tend to be mediocre at both things they are trying to do.
I'd like to see the pebble watch folks try to make a pebble phone, with just an e-ink screen. The selling point will be battery life and sunlight readability. Add a front light for night use. Some company long ago demonstrated video on e-ink, and Amazon has shown you can get fast page refresh on existing hardware. You don't need 30fps, you just need to make it not painfully slow. (Of course I don't know what kind of hit that is on the battery.) It'll be a niche product for sure, but they'll have the niche all to themselves.
