    Strongly disagree. Email is foundational communication just like text messaging.

    Social media is NOT foundational communication.

      If I’m expecting an immediate response, an email would be the second to last thing I would do. Emails are different from texts entirely. It’s more akin to sending a letter, it’s even in the name, e”mail”.

        Cool in principle, but in practice emails are used as instant verification for all kinds of things. Even if you don’t need email immediately, there are lots of other people who do.

          Instant verification for what without already being on a phone? If you’re already on the computer, just use the computers browser and log in to your email? Why are you making this more complicated than reality.

          There’s literally no reason to instantly need your email, and if you do, than these phones aren’t meant for you, you need to be connected.

          Also, what 2fa does email but not text messaging…?

      And an email can wait until you get home, if it’s that important, call, but texts suffice.

      A browser allows access to social media, so now you just lost the phones sole purpose, good job.
