kk6mrpon The Light Phone 3 is a little less light – but a lot more useful

The black and white OLED display will be nice! The refresh rates seemed pretty aggressive compared to other E Ink devices I have used. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to use the one I have as they haven't implemented the ability to change APN settings.
