New Dumbphones

Are there any good dumbphones expected to come out soon? It seems like the only phones VZW has released lately are smart phones.

I'm looking to replace my EnV Touch, and not looking to add a data plan to my bill just yet.. so just trying to find a solid dumbphone solution. The EnV Touch seemed like a good phone at first, but the touch screen is having issues & it has a ton of random reboots.

Wants:
Good battery, good signal strength, good call quality, decent camera..

I'd like to go with the Incredible 2, but don't like the idea of a $30 data plan! (I have a feeling I'd go over the data limit on the $15 plan.)

Thanks

Well if you are thinking about a smartphone you might want to get it now. The data plans are changing and not getting any cheaper.

Plus they got rid of the $15 plan. Sign up while it is still unlimited. Especially if you plan to do pandora, PDAnet, or netflix.

Yeah... my time is running out! It's too bad I don't want the Xperia Play.. it's going for cheap on Amazon right now.. like $49.99 cheap.

I think I might pick up the Droid Incredible 2 within the next two weeks.

Vz's selection of feature phones is the worst worst worst in the business!! They are only interested in pushing smart phones and consider the telephony part of the business as chump change. Sad but true.

I would agree... Octane isn't such a bad phone if you aren't looking for touch and if you liked the reality but were ticked about the data you can find a U370 at some locations and they aren't bad either.

But besides that...meh nothing that would make me too excited about a phone.
