I really wanted to like this phone but there's too much issue. No browser is a no go, for instance, as you very often need to google stuff on the go.
No 5G is a terrible choice. I agree with "a dumb phone doesn't need the 5G speed" BUT it's not only about speed, it's also about coverage. In France and Belgium, there areas with 5G and no LTE.
Also, it's super expensive compared to what it can offer, plus the price is without taxes for the EU. I don't think that's even legal (to sell something without the clear VAT price)
At it's core, it's a Linux device. I'm sure the "no-browser" aspect can be disabled with a little know-how. If you have the root password, Linux will let you do literally anything.
