Are there any e-ink tablets that also support being used as a phone (full sim support)?
None that I know of.
Seems cellular capabilities are low on the list for eink device makers.
Even the Boox Palma doesn’t have a sim card. Crazy
Nope not that I’m aware of nor would it be really good right now.
Well there ARE E-Ink phones like the Hisense A9 and similar but I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for or not.
Thanks, that’s definitely closer to what I’m looking for, will see if it’ll work for me.
How would that be useful?
Doesn’t everyone shout at their books in public?
I’m looking for an e-ink tablet I can also use for a multi-purpose tablet. Simultaneously my phone is getting really old, but I don’t make many phone calls, so I’m looking to see if I can potentially roll that use case into a single device rather than buying multiple.
e-ink is not multipurpose yet. Refresh rates are still extremely low, and color is highly limited. If you want to scroll, view color images, or watch video, e-ink is not the ideal solution.
You also probably don’t want to be making phone calls on a tablet. You might think about a cheap little flip phone.
There are e-ink smartphones out there which might hit a couple of your criteria, but there’s no killer device yet.
Ah well, worth a shot asking anyway. Thanks!
