No this is 2015 where people have micro PCs for their phones. Calls and sms, that's all I need, and battery that holds for a week, bet your smartphone can do that, oh wait.

So...Funny thing, I have a Droid Razr Maxx

http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_droid_razr_maxx-4417.php

Apparently the standy by time of my phone is up to 380 hours,

1 week is 168 hours so...

It easily lasts over a week...

And I have a Droid Turbo. Battery life on my phone is insane as well.

GPS, video, music, games, web, and millions of unique apps and I'm supposed to feel inferior because of battery life? When he said in the Op that it has a bad battery?

Smh

Cause it would be outdated as a phone the moment when it came out.. who in the world is gonna buy a one year old phone next year just because it can play a few games.. a handheld should last a few year..

A PSV with phone hardware and some extra storage and a decent camera would land in the ballpark of $299 with good margins.

I could see it being a success - if they manage to put up enough app support. It'll be a success in Japan, no doubt about it.

Dude, buy yourself a fucking phone. The description you gave makes me cringe.

What model do you suggest, after small research I'm leaning toward Motorola E 2nd gen. I bet it will break in a year or become slow and unresponsive.

You need a Lumia 950 XL obviously... With it's badass cooling system, iris scanner, continuum, DEDICATED CAMERA BUTTON!!! Also it's the closest thing to a console experience you will have on a cellphone, with universal Achievements and mother fucking Avatars... 😍

One day Sony will bite and make a WP, Android has too many big ballers. If not, then they are dead in the phone biz.
