I'm curious then, what do you actually want it for?
Also, if you are going to put it in a shielded case of some sort whilst leaving it powered on I'd recommend putting it in Flight Mode because I'm sure a phone without signal that is looking for signal uses far more battery.
To replace our land line eventually (Mrs.D got a cell about a year ago, we're paying ~30-bucks a mo for landline). Also some other things, like taking crap photos of stupid stuff -- brace yourselves for the deluge -- checking maps from wifi (I don't have a data plan), mp3's, checking email. Music on the nexus 7 is kind of sucky, plus it's relatively awkward to hump around.

Do you need a landline for your internet connection?
There's an annoying thing in the UK if you have an internet connection via phone line (ADSL, BT Fibre etc) you have to pay for line rental + internet, even if you don't want to use a landline.
the non-smart phone can still be tracked fairly accurately by cell triangulation. It's when you've got four goons tailing you you really have to worry I suppose.
Smart people say it the way that doesn't introduce ambiguity with JPEG Interchange Format.
(Well, except for when what they actually say is PNG/JPEG/MPEG because they're using a fucking format that bloody well makes sense for the damned data it contains. :@)
Good news is the $50 phone makes a far better mp3 player than the nexus 7. No popping, skipping & crackling. :-O~~~ (doesn't have near the battery life though).
Mediatek vs. tegra3. Whodathunk.

Yeah, replacement batteries are pretty cheap. In theory you could swap in a fresh one as needed. I'm wondering if there's such a thing as a phone battery charger -- the kind you insert the battery into, rather than plugging in the phone.
