What's the opposite of an iPhone?

I have a couple of months left on my T-Mobile contract, and when that's up, I've decided to go one of two ways.  Either I'll switch to AT&T and get an iPhone so that I can do Internet stuff from wherever, or I'll get the cell phone that's best at being a phone and tries to do as little else as any cell phone does these days.

The question is, what phone should I get if I don't get an iPhone?  I prefer flip phones and would want the smallest physical size and longest battery life possible.

Yeah, I'm asking for the impossible.

I think what's going on is that now that I've gotten bored with my RAZR, I miss the Motorola v60 I had five years ago.  That was the cell phone for minimalists.
