I'm afraid that I might be just falling into the "it's a bargain!" trap.

Because I'm tempted to flash it to a new version of Android. But I'm afraid to brick it
I don't use it as a phone, as I prefer my 5.5" Lumia 950XL. I never really liked Android, except as a plaything. I didn't buy it because of the e-ink screen per se, it was rather one of the plusses. I was already looking for a second-hand phone for my heat camera (you plug that into the usb port and it uses the processor of the phone to make pictures), but those are also expensive (and I needed some decent specs for that camera) and you never know how the original owner used the phone. So, when somebody mentioned this one a few weeks ago, I knew I had to get it. It was what I was looking for price wise and spec wise. And it has a very gadget level, with the e-ink screen on the back. Add to that the wireless charging (which I've been using ever since I got my Lumia 920 and won't do without anymore), and I knew I had to buy one.
I also finally found a very nice launcher for it, that makes Android useable to me:
SquareHome 2 - Win 10 style
What can I say? I rather liked Windows Phone from 7.5 onwards
