at&t network non-smartphones with keyboard

Don't want to pay extra for a mandatory internet data plan for a cell phone. Harder and harder to shop for a mobile phone that's not a smartphone. And need one for the at&t network.

PHONE w SLIDER QWERTY KEYBOARD

* Pantech Impact 
* Pantech Laser
* Pantech Ease
* Pantech Duo
* Sharp FX
* LG Vu Plus
* LG Xenon
* Samsung Flight 
* Motorola Karma 


PHONE w TOUCH SCREEN KEYBOARD

* HTC Freestyle
* Samsung Solstice
* Samsung Mythic 
* Samsung Eternity
