I can agree with you on all points. Unfortunately, it has now become the case that even products that were once considered durable are using the quality promises of the past to promote their currently lower-quality products.
I still remember my father had a Nokia 6310. The battery easily lasted a week, of course, it had completely different technology. But as far as I know, he still has it in the closet, fully functional, as a keepsake.
Trust me, I know about the Nokia battery life and durability. My first phone was a Nokia 6110, which my dad bought for me back in high school in 1999. I used that 6110 until I upgraded to a 6100 in 2003 when I was in university. Then I switched to a 8801 in 2006 because I was working a co-op job at Nokia and could buy the phone with an employee discount for almost half price.
