Really like the one-handed phone form factor, but the Box Palma being WiFi only was a deal breaker for me.

Instead I got a Hisense A5 from eBay for ~$130 and after rooting, debloating, and installing E-ink optimized versions of Open source android apps it’s a perfect companion for my Boox Nova Air C. With KOReader syncing across devices.

    I used to root and unlock bootloaders all the time is it relatively easy for this device does it work on the color version as well? I really want a eink display phone how do you like it?

      Highly phone dependent. Some phones have an official process, others have hacks, many others have fuck all.
