Have the X4, the size is perfect - I always have it in my pocket and can read a view pages whenever I am waiting for something. Reduced my phone usage / doom scrolling nonsense with it. Best 50€ spent in a long time.

There is no bank account that isn't linked to your id already.

I had a portal/app with messages exam results, calenders for .) kindergarten for my youngest child (who will now go to elementary school) .) elementary school for my middle child .) daycare for my middle child .) high school for eldest child

All spamming with messages and news - so I made python scripts that use the apps API to get the messages (exams and changes etc) and puts it into our family telegram group chat if relevant

I just can't sit here every morning 20 minutes on my phone logging in checking everything just to find out the food plan has changed ...

Interesting - I ordered mine from AliExpress in February and it was really easy to flash. Shane if they start blocking it.
