Yes!!!

> give me something that will hold charge for a week, has the quality of a land line, is ultra light, small, can be dropped

I would pay dearly for such a phone. I don't need "apps" when I'm on the road; I need something small and durable that can survive anything (including being put in water).

I don't carry a purse and find it hard to make room for a smart phone, esp. newer ones which are only getting bigger and bigger.

I had hoped Nokia would make that phone, but they too seem to be only interested in the smart phone business. Too bad.

You can get a waterproof phone. My friend has the one below and he lost it at the beach, we called the phone a few hours later after he realised that it was missing and the person who answered said he found it in the sea and couldn't believe it was still working.
