I use an iphone 4.
Never had it run out of battery life yet.
Plug it into it's charger last thing at night, so always good to go in the morning.

3310i was a great phone, battery ent on for ever, and if all you want to do is recieve calls, then why not.

In my opinion all the smart phones have one major flaw - battery life.  I've got an HTC Sensation - great personal phone, rubbish for commercial use.

So I use a Blackberry Curve for work: cheap (now), high quality, easy to use, reliable and a fantastic battery life.  And they're not as 'nickable' as smartphones are.

Don't get a cheap phone - the audio quality is usually rubbish.

BlackBerry Bold .......cannot get on with any touch screen phones !!
I like it that BB comes with it's own email address and I find it very easy to monitor responses.

Just my own opinion.... but I find most smart phones are great at taking photos, sat nav, gaming etc. It seems to me where they fall down is being used as a phone due to poor call quality, dropouts and loosing connectivity where you have to restart them.

I've opted for the most simple phone a Nokia c2 which will give me tinternet, email and not the best phone calls. The best phone that I ever had was the Nokia 6230i which I would never throw away and completely bullet proof! I even still change to it sometimes and it connects to my car.

Gone are the days where you just had a VHS or Betamax and just a landline and people used to talk to each other ;D

Mine has a power save button which makes it easier, but all it does is turn off all the extras you don't need, wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS,, apps running in the background etc. If you turn all that stuff off, you end up with just the phone in use, saves loads of power.  I use the satnav on the phone so I also have a charger for the van.

Bought a good app on my S2 called Juice Defender makes a significant improvement to battery life.

Do they still sell non smart phones.
