I don't see maps mentioned. If it lacks that it lacks the largest killer app of smart phones.

It's also hard to supplement this with a Garmin or similar, because Google/Apple maps are perpetually up to date. And their UX doesn't completely suck.

I wonder where this is heading. The original light phone (version 1 if I remember correctly) was simply for calling and very minimalistic. To that I am a bit disappointed that they are adding more features instead of cutting prices.

I'm curious to see what would happen if someone made a simple phone that behaved as an access point. Hook up my watch, my tablet, bluetooth headphones, let it stay in my pocket most of the time.

Also only texting, not WhatsApp or other messaging platforms.

If it had texting, Uber and maps I’d buy it. Really unfortunate

I didn't see maps mentioned, but there is a cycling screenshot of various apps halfway down the page that does show an app for getting directions.
