If you just need a phone, the phone is well served with this. We wanted a mobile phone (not a smartphone) that we can give to the Junior occasionally, when it is time traveling alone. A long battery life ensures that the phone will still go if it lying around turned one week. Nowadays that's in smartphones, unfortunately not more so. The only drawback: The connector for the charger cable is not a miniUSB or microUSB. So you have to take when traveling the original charger. Given the long battery life is not bad, because for short trips does the battery without charging.
