(Un)Smartphone

You guys were so helpful in helping me pick out a smartphone that now I would like some input on a dumbphone.



I ended up with an Electrify2. (It worked great in Ireland; I got a SIM card installed at a cellphone shop in Galway for twenty euro and used it for almost two weeks.) It still works great, but I have come to three realizations:



Realization the first: All I do with it is call people, text people and check e-mails. Eighty percent work related for all three.

Realization the second: Goddamn thing is huge. Ruins the lines of any suit, guaranteed.

Realization the third: I'm pretty much fed up with people with smartphones. We're one generation away from evolving into a permanent neck bent down/hands together posture because that's how 99% of the population spends 99% of its time. I'm sick of it. Like beards, motorcycles and cocaine, the general population has ruined this for me, too. I want out.



Is there a phone that is:



A: Small

B: Has a keyboard (touchscreen not preferred but not verboten)

C: Can check my email

D: Can hang out in a pocket without accidentally calling my mom or something



Blackberry? I hear people running them down, but it never seems to be for a legitimate reason; it's usually from a diehard Apple/Android tool who says "Blackberry? LOL!" or some such. Would one of these be a decent phone for my needs, which are pretty darn simple.



Help me out here.



Thanks,

HF
