It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Quite a lot:

  • energy efficency: a phone with a screen on will depleate battery very fast. This thing claims 20 h battery lide while actually using it
  • readability in full sunlight: most phones are not readable in full sunlight and consume a lot in this situation
  • impermeability: while many phones nowadays can withstand some water, this thing is designed to be used under the rain

Is it worth it? I guess it depends on the use you make of you bike...
