gollark: I don't actually like the "big curved-edge screen with notch" design, so it's great for me.

gollark: I wonder if this is one of those "hedonic adaptation" things, or however you spell that.

gollark: ... looks fine to me?

gollark: Anyway, I think the pinephone looks fine, it's pretty much "generic rounded rectangle with screen on the front".

gollark: What I *would* be interested in is some sort of low-power long-battery-life pocket computer with LoRa radios, an e-paper-ish visible-in-sunlight screen, and the ability to read text and type a bit.
