    I just posted the following message (and thanks to Johan Wevers for his
    informative reply). However, as a parallel thought, I am wondering if
    there is a model without color screen, which would have all other
    modern features but by skipping color screen may provide significantly
    better battery performance? While I like color, everything else being
    equal I'd prefer better battery charge life.

    The trick is "everything else being equal". Is there a "deluxe" nokia
    without color screen or do you have to accept color if you want other
    good things?

    Thanks.

    Not what you asked, but I have 6100 and 6610 and both come with
    screen savers. Thus battery life should not be a great concern.

    I know only the 6310i. But that one is much bigger than a 6610.

    That's where the screensaver is for.

    The 6310i will give you over a week's time for battery life and close
    to two weeks on just standby.

    The 3510i will give you a week, has a colour screen and has big
    separate keys for texting.
