I have a 3-4 year old motorola razr on verizon. Its slim and fits in my pocket well and i can make calls and text from it and have never had any issues with it. The only thing i could ask for is a phone with a full keyboard for faster texting, but im not willing to sacrifice the size of the razr for it. The closest i have seen was the samsung alias i think, havent checked all that recently though.
My cellphone is one of the products i have that is almost strictly utilitarian and i have no desire to have the latest and greatest, which is nice considering all the other types of products that im constantly wanting a ‘new’ version of.
