Um.... all dumb phones are equally bad. So just choose one based on its looks.

Don't get me wrong, but this sounds smug as hell.

 

OT: if you're going for a low-functionality phone, get a Philips which has 3-4 weeks battery life, or some kind of a rugged everything-proof one so you're not afraid to hit someone with it.

 

Also, this is your 1.76" touchscreen in a nutshell:

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

Whatever you say, but I just thought I would let you know that there's more to a smartphone than facebook, snapchat and what not.

 

This actually reminds me of a guy at work, we have this one customer that buys a lot of our best most expensive TVs and sells them on, but all communications are done though this tiny metal nokia phone. This guy, he's a pretty big guy. Like, you know, big big. So seeing a big guy use such a tiny phone is interesting to see to say the least. Especially considering he's loaded because of us.

My old Samsung m540 slyde could last a week without charging. It's also got a nice slide out keyboard. It's also indestructible.

The Nokia 220 is a cheap little phone that is available in fancy colors like yellow and red, if that's unusual/cool enough for you...
