I would like to point out that I never said I did not want a smartphone I do not want to pay for the data plan.

Good luck with that.

In order to download apps, you need the ability to access data, either through wifi or the cellular network.  There are no PHONES that I am aware of that allow downloads from the Google App store or the iPhone store without a data plan.  There are TABLETS that are wifi only that WILL allow you to do this without a data plan.

So, the answer is NO.  Get a WIFI tablet.  The Nexus 7 is a great little tablet.

No you just want a basic phone with smartphone features.

Verizon has pre-paid smartphone plans with data included. $60 for 500 MB and $70 for 2 GB. Phones are on the low end side and are 3G only. But since you only wanted a basic phone anyway they certainly would be better than any basic phone you can get.
