I think it's great that you can get a cheap phone with good functionality.
What I don't think is great is tying your phone to WhatsApp. It's great that it runs WhatsApp, but what happens when something new and better comes along? All of a sudden your phone doesn't look so hot and the button is a constant reminder that it's physically tied to an old app.
I would be much more interested in a simple cheap phone that provided an accessible button that allowed you to customize what it loaded. That way you could link it to WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, or whatever app you use the most.
