Phone with good battery life recommendation

[ciarancarthy]

Sea kayakers value battery life when bringing their phone to sea for a few days. I\'m in the market for a new phone and I\'m wondering has anybody any solid recommendations for a reliable model. I\'m tending to steer away from the smartphone all singing gadget, so a basic phone with music player is sufficient!
The Nokia X2 has been mentioned:

I wouldn\'t recommend the B2100 Samsung. I got one because of the waterproofing. People are always complaining about the sound quality and that\'s with good coverage. I think I\'ll stick with Nokia in future. Have the Samsung a few month but will be replacing it with a Nokia 3720 very soon!
