I have done much more on a T68, with much less. And, by the way, 6'' is a "only because it's the only solution I have" measure for working with text, if it's not telegrams.
While I share many of your concerns, I'll check it out when release early June here in Japan. The screen is certainly something of a disappointment, but it is also so small that you are probably very close to it. Price in Japan is some ¥43 ,000 closer to say $375. Foldable enough to go in a cargo pants pocket, maybe even back pocket. Interesting QR code solution to move text to iOS but nothing on Android, strange choice.
