I found a cheap pre-paid phone that I might purchase if it looks usable. Then I can keep my regular phone on and ready to use... plus it makes a good backup.

Failing that, I've been strongly considering the Garmin Edge Touring. I'd read some bad things about the GPX navigation though.. being a bit tricky to set up. So if the solution I already have works, I'm going to use it
Interesting idea and in another life (car racing) I use an old android smartphone that's not activated for GPS lap timing. But even there battery life ain't the best
