Many people don't want or need a smart phone.

First, why are you more worried about losing or damaging a battery than a media player?

Secondly, wow - that's a long time. I thought mine was bad taking about 30 seconds from cold.

Thirdly, spare battery for mine is about £7.48 including a desk charger. High capacity battery is about £3.75 by itself.

Finally, I just swap them over once one is charged and then keep it safe in a little bag. Or rather I used to when I actually carried a spare battery. I might have to get one actually. Probably worth it for £3.75

Or if, like me,

• your phone is for emergencies only and therefore off except when being used
• you neither want nor require any of the extra facilities of a smartphone
• you specifically require your phone to not be able to download anything
• you specifically do not want a touchscreen
• you specifically require a media player that does not have a mobile or bluetooth antenna
• you didn't spend lots on your wedding so a posh phone has no chance
• you grew out of posing a long time ago
