Are there any e-ink tablets that also support being used as a phone (full sim support)?

e-ink is not multipurpose yet. Refresh rates are still extremely low, and color is highly limited. If you want to scroll, view color images, or watch video, e-ink is not the ideal solution.

You also probably don't want to be making phone calls on a tablet. You might think about a cheap little flip phone.

There are e-ink smartphones out there which might hit a couple of your criteria, but there's no killer device yet.

Ah well, worth a shot asking anyway. Thanks!
