I'm kind of in the same boat... I really dislike using any kind of touch-based smartphone as my primary phone, so I still have my Nokia N86 (2009) with mostly the same virtues as the 5130 but more moving parts so it will someday break.
I really like having tactile feedback and being able to use the phone with one hand - plus my phone is a flip phone and has the last calls in memory, so with a flick and one button press I can call the last person called, usually without seeing.
The lack of tactile feedback on touchscreens is something I hate, I WANT my phones to have at least a few buttons.
That's something Nokia does right, for example I love the camera buttons on my Nokia and the current Lumia series.
I also strongly dislike the current battery life of most smartphones, that's something else that weighs heavily against them.
What I do have is an Android phone as sort of a "mini-tablet", with 3G connectivity, but not phone use (though I can call in an emergency), which I do carry around mostly for the Maps function and Internet use.
