Thank you, these are some good options I hadn't considered. I would have carried on with the Desire Z if it hadn't been physically broken, possibly eventually jailbreaking it to be able to update the OS. It's not even broken in a very major way, but the market is such that it's never worth attempting anything beyond the most basic repairs.

There is certainly a lot to be said for a dumbphone (or older smartphone) with a very cheap or PAYG sim for calls, and a tablet with a decent data plan for portable computing. Almost certainly does work out better financially, but I was balancing that against trying to minimize the proliferation of gadgets I'm carrying around. I'm also by inclination annoyed with the practice of selling powerful computers deliberately limited so that they're only effective for one specialist purpose, such as an e-reader or an exercise monitor. My Galaxy Note I intentionally picked up as a Swiss army knife device, I want it to be able to perform lots of tasks acceptably, not to be the best possible tool for one specialist task. But I realize that's not always the best approach.
