Would you be interested in an e-ink phone?

I was reading on my Nook Simple Touch today and I wondered if you guys would be interested in a smartphone with e-ink.

It would preferably be all flexible (this is still a few years from being practical) Let's also asume it will have color as well.

Advantages

- extremely long battery life

- no power draw displaying still images, text, web pages, whatever

- the best screen technology to read on (making ebook apps much more useful for a phone)

Disadvantages

- video

-the camera app would be interesting to use, the refresh rate is going to have to increase

- current color prototypes are much less vibrant than an amoled or lcd pannel

I think I would still get one running Jellybean if the refresh rate was acceptable. Would you guys?
