Thanks to the link to the other post on E ink phones. The newer e ink phones have google play. They don't lag as much between screens and the resolution has improved some. So with the phone in airplane mode and the maps downloaded to the phone, keeping it charged while using navigation during the day should be easy.
The phone you mentioned appears to be a much better choice than the one mentioned in the old thread. I think it's an interesting idea.
The lower resolution for color is going to be somewhat unexpected by most people. So, it's worth mentioning it even if you already knew about it (and I would have had no idea about that).
