Doesn't mean it can't be a great device for web surfing, listening to music and reading on, as well as a phone that lasts a week. If the colour aspect gets fixed I'd be tempted.
Web surfing on an e-ink isn't fun. It's not an inherent problem (ie, you could have an optimized site that worked fine) but sites on the web now have scrolling and moving parts. On phone size screens you also have zooming. With e-ink you want to move cleanly between static screens.
