So, I am needing a new phone (AT&T network) and thought I'd reach out to you guys for opinions.
Reliability and processing power / application support are priorities, but unlike most I am not looking for a true smartphone. Why? Because I don't plan to use data on my phone and AT&T will make me pay for a data plan with a smartphone.
I do, however, send and receive a lot of texts, so strong texting capability is desirable. I generally prefer a full keyboard for texting and note taking, but am open to decent alternatives (eg Android's "swipe" feature).
Any thoughts?

I looked at the other AT&T phones, this is prob your best bet without going full smartphone

well, if you send allot of txts then either a blackberry or iphone would be a good choice depending on how many of your contacts use either phone...

they have blackberry messenger and imessenger which is free message service between those who use either service.

Don't be such a ludditeanimatedgif - because AT&T is an extortionist racket that charges you random shit if you try to switch! they are EVIL MOTHERFUCKERSvaxorcist

Consider a Windows phone...I know, I know...but they are actually very nice - especially the Focus (no keyboard though).

Question... are you staying with AT&T for any specific reason?
Like, is it the only network that works in your house?I had AT&T, then moved... and.... argh....Oddly enough, AT&T was the only network that DIDN'T work in my old house, so I switched.... and AT&T seemed dedicated to ruining my life when I told them why.... assholes deserve to die painfully....
AT&T costs $$$$, and if you want unlimited data, you can get it from Virgin Mobile/Sprint or T-Mobil for less than you think.... and an android phone on those networks doesn't cost that much...
I've got an Android phone on Virgin Mobile (runs on Sprint) for $44 / month, unlimited data, 1200 minutes, unlimited text, no AT&T hassles....

I was going to post this as a joke, but funnily enough, it pretty much nails your criteria. I wonder if you can still get one cheap...

honestly if you're not getting a smart phone there is no reason to have a contract. They are a fucking rip off compared to a lot of the prepaid plans out now (not prepaid from the big companies, but companies like net10).
With my current usage (~100 minutes + ~300-500 texts a month) I currently only pay on average $15 a month with my net10 phone. Compare that with my old verizon plan in which I was spending upwards of $60 a month. Also, It's nice to not be on a contract.
