Having become ever more annoyed with smart phones, currently a galaxy s4 I've been contemplating reverting back to something simpler with less guff and more battery life (one that will out last the day).

I've been looking at the basic phones Nokia do like: http://www.nokia.com/hk-en/phones/phone/208-dual-s...

My only requirements bee that it can check emails and connect hands free in the car so needs to work/function with the correct bluetooth profiles.

Anyone else gone back to basics and have any experience of these phones?

I've got a Nokia 301 and it's very good. Battery life can be 5 days even with normal use. The Bluetooth works nicely. The email access is fine through the Nokia mail app and its small. Simple camera but no flash.

Never had a smartphone and don't want one now.
Thanks, that actually looks to tick all the boxes and an even longer battery life if the specs are to be believed.


Slightly better camera to that gets very occasional use just as a memory aid so quality isn't paramount.
