Yes. I actually tend to call people back when they text me if I'm on the Light Phone lol, the physical experience of typing is that frustrating. I find myself hoping nobody texts me when my SIM is in the Light Phone because then it's hard to keep track of what info is on what device, iPhone or Light Phone, because yeah, I had to keep both, while I love the Light Phone and regret nothing and it's helped me practice better habits, the lack of productivity tools means the Light Phone is mainly a hike phone or going on a date phone for me.
I still would love an everyday phone that isn't an iPhone. Amazing rec for Wise Phone, has anyone tried it personally?

To be clear, the Light Phone does have an e-ink display. You're not happy with that?

Correct, it does have an e-ink display and I find it to be very limiting (beyond what's necessary to break bad smartphone habits).

Thanks.
The battery life and visibility in the sun are both great features. I'm hoping the middle part of the spectrum between the eInk phones and the iPhone/Pixel starts to fill in. Something more along the lines of the Wise Phone (https://techless.com/).
