What cell phone meets these requirements?


I'm searching for a cell phone to buy. NOT a smartphone, but a simple model with standard keyboard.

The requirements are as follow:

1) Idle battery time - at least 700 hours (recharging phone once or twice a month). This one is absolutely essential.
2) Calling, messaging functions.
3) Wifi and simple internet browser - again, nothing fancy, no need for youtube or stuff like that.
4) Flashlight - but it doesn't have to be strong one;
5) Radio, calculator, alarm clock, calendar.

That's about it. I was looking at Nokia 215, 220 and 225 which meet these requirements, but they have horrible operating systems, lack basic functionality and there are bugs that Nokia hasn't fixed in ages.

I am now investigating Nokia 301 and several other models. Can someone name any phones that meet all these requirements? As I said, month-long battery lifetime is absolutely essential. Cells from popular brands would be best.
