I had one of those for a while and it worked quite well. However, I gave it to my wife when Hisense came out with their A5 model which is a single screen eink phone with a light.
I much prefer the single screen eink phone to the dual screen model. When I was using the A2 Pro, I was primarily using the eink screen. The only time I used the colour screen was in low light conditions because the eink side did not have a light.
The A5 model is wonderful because I can now use eink all the time owing to its frontlight.
I think it may be very difficult for Onyx to improve upon what Hisense has accomplished. As the Kaitoku mentioned in the other post, Onyx will now need to come out with a decent colour eink screen and/or make their phone waterproof or something of the like to get people to switch over. As much as I enjoy my various Onyx ereaders, I would now be hesitant to switch to them for a phone without some compelling reason.
