I'm often in the fields. Where sockets and electrical lines were not delivered. And I really don't like carrying around too much,

As always YMMV.

and even more so keeping radio-emitting devices near my body,

I got my ham ticket in 1957 and have been radiated by various radio toys
 ever since. I ran a homebrew 1000 watt HF mobile rig for awhile. The
 antenna was 5 feet from the drivers seat. Bet that cooked up a few of my
 cells. So it's probably a little late for radiation paranoia for me...

especially at night. Where ive fell down and fell asleep, without thinking that im needed to charge some kind of phone. The phone should not consume such an amount of energy a priori.

I was lucky enough to be born and spend my childhood, youth and part of my adulthood WITHOUT mobile phones at all. You need to communicate eye to eye, and meet more often.

Yup. My youth was rough too. A 4 party line phone attached to the wall with
 a (gasp) wire...  8-O
