Buy a Nokia (Symbian/S40, not Windows) phone and you won't get any of these problems.
Cheap, durable, decent UI, lag-free, stable, full-featured, legendary battery life (about 30 days of 3G standby time, try and beat that with iPhones and Android).
Nokia Asha 306 and Asha 311
Plenty of apps and games to choose from.
Personally, I think that if you need an
app to pick a restaurant, find available carpark lots, book air/movie tickets, watch movies (Netflix) etc, you're probably too reliant on your device. It's like a schoolboy being too reliant on his calculator and he will eventually forget how to do simple mental calculations.
