hey there everyone! iām new here, i discovered this company on instangram, and i was interested at the mudita kompakt! iāve got a few question, is this the right place? if not iām sorry, if yes then, iāve read the article, and the phone sounds good, but i was wondering, with e-ink screen is possible to let you see color? because i knewd there is a camera in case i would take a photo! and i was wondering even if there is some sort of browser, for enternet, i know that the purpouse is to stay more connected in real life, and thatās why iām interested, but what if i need to do some quick researc on internet (not social network or stuff) ps. eventually sorry for my mistakes, not a native speaker

You cannot see colour but when you send the picture the person you are sending it too will see the photo in color

@lalatiptip Hello & welcome to the Mudita Forum! When it comes to the Eink on the Mudita Kompakt camera, the images appear in B&W on Kompakt, but the color information is still captured and stored. So, when you upload the images to your computer, they will be in color.

Iām very exited about it , I think is almost perfect, I would like to seeimg add just some āinternet mustā like an app for checking email (is necessary even for work today) a browser wouldnāt fit with the concept, and you can always write a reminder note if you want to chack some information on internet when you came back home, but yea maybe email and the possibility to add a bank application, is sad but is true that those are essential, what do you think?

I fully understand your requirement to check work email, the need to be connected to work email all the time, however I guess it depends on your work and whether youāre running your own business, self-employed etc. I am fortunate enough to only be required to access work emails 5-days per week, between 8am-5pm. And personal emails I am trying to loosen that grip by checking-in on those at set times in the day. I just read about a CEO of a very large company using a (ahem) Punkt MP02 (other phones are available) as his only phone, if you need to contact him then he will not reply unless heās behind his laptop/desktop and he has set times in the day to do that. Thatās where I am headed. I love your comment about āmaking a noteā to check things on the internet when you are home, this is my main problem, my impulse to look something up on my phone immediately, no matter what I am doing (even driving - SORRY!). I want to carry a small notebook to write down the important stuff. I have done this before and a lot of the time I never look that thing up, because it was never THAT important in the first place. And with banking apps, I also feel thereās an impulse to keep checking our financial situation at all times. Thereās no reason we cannot do this once per day at home, just āsitā with the anxiety of not knowing your financials until itās the right time. Once I am using the Kompakt I will likely make a āfull-onā effort to practice what I preach and people will just need to get used to either calling me or know that I wonāt respond until I am home. The only thing I see me needing my smartphone for is using Garmin for my training but thatās also something I can do each evening, not essential as my Garmin watch saves all information 24/7. The next step is to get rid of that watch, only use it for training and start using my mechanical watches again because I love those.
Apologies, I went off a bit then, Iām off for a run and had a little too much caffeine.
Hope everyoneās having a good weekend.

One thing I forgot to mention, the necessity for a solid and dependable tether to a secondary device cannot be overstated, I have been doing this for the last couple of weeks and found it indispensable, that sort of negates the reason for having separate email and browser apps.

Similar situation here.
I even checked my personal email at work so that I wouldnāt have to do it at home. Itās fine, I didnāt neglect my work because of it.
Needless to say that I also abused the office printer and scanner for my personal stuff.
This led to a setting where I would have to rarely use my computer at home. Very good.
Iām afraid you wonāt be able to use your small notebook and pencil at the steering wheel. 
The only solution are voice memos, I assume Mudita Kompakt will have that?
Yes, indeed a simplified phone like mudita will solve your information addiction as you cannot look things up directly.
What confuses me is that people donāt understand the very idea of the Mudita phones that was advertised since the Pure. It is supposed to be just a phone - with a few essential extras of an object that you carry around anyway, might as well have a flashlight and alarm clock (turns out cameras are essential extras nowadays too, good as note taking substitute)
The rest is supposed to be done on your computer (ideally a desktop PC from my experience).
Yes, this is also possible to do with a smartphone as well, but the Mudita solution means less mental burden, it is just a phone, not a banking device in your pocket. The beneficial effect is indirect, thatās why some people donāt get it and demand more smartphone-like features.

I totally agree, Mudita are not trying to create an e-ink smartphone or even something that resembles a smartphone, itās never been their direction. As you say, everything you cannot impulsively do on a phone, you can do on a desktop computer, intentionally.

Its calssed as one of few e-ink smarts *as Pure is e-ink dumbie, but again software solution will speak for itself. I just hope Pure experience have made them value software development more.
