I have a smart phone through work, and as my personal phone has died I'd like to replace it with a small, light, cheap, robust long battery life "dumb" phone - what's good - the new Nokia 3310 maybe ?

Having said dumb - bluetooth is nice, as is the ability for basic internet / google maps etc would be nice as help if stuck, but not a priority and doesn't have to be user friendly.

I just had a cheap Samsung non-smartphone for that purpose (lost it a while ago though). I think once you get into usable google maps you're into smartphone territory though which is when you compromise the battery life. Just having a quick look the Nokia 130 looks OK (apart from the maps thing), when you say 3310 are you talking about the new version or the original one?

I was thinking the new one - or something similar of course depending on what's reccomended - the 3310 is a bit pricey at retail it seems
