Samsung Hero Music. it has flashlight. cheap and built quality is also descent. have a similar samsung mobile. battery backup is around 3-4days with heavy phone calls. else Nokia X1-01 which is suppose to have even better standby time as well as talk time.

most samesung mobiles will offer around 5 days standby. and other than Nokia X1-01 i doubt any mobiles offer such battery life. Check comments about Hero Music's battery life at gsmarena. that should give you a rough idea about battery life.
