The campaign hasn't started yet, but you can sign up to be notified by email when it starts.
I don't believe in e-ink-only phones, but several people on Mobileread wrote that they want one, so now you can put your money where your mouth is :-) |
Thanks!

Their built-in calendar and mail program should be able to support Google Calendar and Gmail, although perhaps more rudimentary than you'd like. Have no idea what they'll do for maps, which would be a killer feature, having the e-Ink screen always on while wandering around.

Thanks much for not only finding the video, but also for transcribing the key specs. I watched the video and missed the frontlight mention (the Indiegogo page didn't say anything about it).
Flagship specs back in 2012. But decent list price--I paid more for my 3G Kindle Keyboard when it first came out. Here's hoping they offer a wide variety of cellular radios for all regions and most carriers.
