Ok, to clarify that's exactly what I did.
I was an iPhone 3G/GS user for years, and went back to a Nokia C1-02 2 years ago.
It gives me:
- 2 weeks battery life
- Edge internet via Opera Mini for when i really need to look something up
- email access via inbuilt client for when i really need to check any urgent email
Advantages:
- I don't need to worry about running out of battery and not being able to call or message the people that matter to me because my phone spent all of its power connecting to networks to get data that is irrelevant to my day to day happiness or convenience
- I have a very good keyboard to type messages an email
- I don't need a data plan (my €10 plan comes with 150Mb bundled internet that is more than enough for the browsing and email I do)
- I don't worry about loosing / dropping / my phone being stolen
- I don't need covers
- I can go to the beach and not worry about a sprinkle of water and some sand getting in it
- The phone fits in my pocket (any pocket, on any type of clothes)
- I'm not constantly inundated with status updates
- When I'm with friends I'm not checking facebook, or settling bets on wikipedia, or showing them that great new game, I'm just with them...
- When I'm alone, I'm reading a book or contemplating, instead of being absorbed by a never ending stream of entertainment
Disadvantages:
- I did miss maps for a while, but quickly went back to the habit of asking strangers for directions which returns an extra human touch to my day
