I am looking for a basic phone, to make calls and sens/receive SMS.

Nothing more - all else is battery drain, and I am looking for the longest battery life that I can find.

To that end, I am looking for a monochrome screen, if such a thing is still manufactured.

Years back, I remember that Sharp made a line of long battery life phones. Now they don't make phones (if they are even still in business).

I have fond memories of a small, grey, rubberized Nokia - was it an N45? - with a screen barely an inch in diagonal (just three lines of display), and I'd be glad of something similar.

I don't need Daul SIM, Wifi, BlueTooth, GPS, color screen, radio, not even music player; just calls & texts (and those will be few, and far between).

Can anyone recommend soemthing that can be bought online?

This question looked good, but it is looking for Dual SIM, which I do not require.

[Update] Nokia are relaunching the 3310. 100 hours standby for Eur 59

From Amazon.com

5200mAh Long Standby Rugged Mobile Phone with Waterproof Shockproof Dustproof Unlocked Phone for Elderly People Adventurers Army Cellphone(Black)

It's $50, and can call and send/receive sms. 5200mAh battery w./ 72 hours talk time and 360 hours standby (as the manufacturer claims). I'm pretty sure the screen is color though.
