> 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.
