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.
