I am an avid eink tablet user (brand is irelevant, ~10inch form factor, good writing experience) and I love it. I can't imagine using the same technology for a phone.
To me phone is: a camera in your pocket, a wide array of chat apps for different friends and communities, a music player, a navigation device and a bunch of other similar tools. For others it's also a gaming device.
Swapping to calming eink is cool and all, but you give up a camera, you give up your fast mobile typing experience for chats, and you don't really get much back. You need a larger surface if you want to read, write or sketch comfortably.

this thing here has a camera. As far as typing experience, you can install swipe or whatever so typing is like on any other device with a touch screen
