For me, a phone is more of a utilitarian device. I've usually always got a tablet or laptop handy if I want to watch videos or look at colour pictures etc.

The extra screen really just adds to the weight and presents the added opportunity for more to go wrong with the device. So I would go for a dedicated eink phone instead... However, beggars can't be choosers... and maybe my views will change when I eventually receive my device.

That would be a very nice feature. Although I prefer typing in general, I much prefer writing by hand for quick notes and the like. Especially considering the tiny virtual keyboards on phones which result in many mistakes.
