Cool! What made you chose that over something like the boox that is the same form factor but without phone functionality?

Color screen and the fact that Onyx, the makers of Boox, flagrantly violate GPL terms.

But it was the Boox Palma getting publicity that made me aware of the form factor and start digging. I’m super happy with the Bigme Hibreak, but I don’t have a SIM card in it. I mostly use it in airplane mode as a dumb e-reader and don’t even install any apps besides the minimum needed to do that.

  Ah ok, so do you carry a smartphone as well? I wonder what it would be like to completely rely on the bigme

    I do. It’s not ideal but it still gives me something better to do than social media.
    
    I’ve heard it’s quirky and kinda mid as a phone, but not unusable.
