So you don't want a smartphone then? The orange san francisco is so so awesome-o!

It's the easiest phone in the world to unlock too.

I had a 6310i, was a superb phone - sorry I didn't keep it as a backup. I can certainly confirm that the battery life is ace, I took it to America and it lasted two weeks between charges.

You want the 6310i, as suggested. I had one, the battery will last easily a week. You can drop it, stomp on it, throw it, it won't break - ever.

Plus, you'll have no problems selling it on.

This.

6120 classic was also fairly good and had stupid things like Skype support when I got it off 3.

I ended up embracing my inner nerd and getting an Orange San Francisco, and moved it to GiffGaff.
