But which dumb phone?

I'm finding it really hard to find something that has 3g (has to as many carriers are 3g+ only) and isn't designed for the elderly.

Since the rise of the smartphone, the only dumb phones left are pretty low quality disposable devices or niche things like Doro do.

Not too big, battery life of a few weeks, 3G, replaceable battery, waterproof preferably.

My other half is still rocking a Nokia C3-01. Lovely thing apart from the unusable touch screen which I have to replace every 6 months or so as it stops responding. OS is a bit meh too but not untypical for a dumb phone.

It's most disappointing that first Microsoft and then the new Nokia seem to have ignored 3G in their dumb phones.
