Help, I need a new cell phone

Oddly enough, I don't want that addiction. More importantly, I don't want DH with that addiction. He can barely focus as it is.

No smartphones/PDAs.

I went through this exact same process a couple of months ago. I did not find a single ATT phone that would sync with Outlook that wasn't a smartphone. I finally went with the Samsung Epix. It was $220 dollars because I refused to buy the data plan. I also had them turn off data for my number (they call it opting out), so that I can't even use data access accidentally.

It's a Windows Mobile phone so my schedule, tasks, and contacts sync fine. The windows sync software does not sync notes however, unless you have the latest version of outlook. There are shareware alternatives, though.
