I need to get a new verizon phone, but I do not want to have any data package (so all smartphones including iPhone, blackberry, droid, etc will not work).

I DO want to be able to sync my phone with my iCal and contact book on my mac. I can do the sync manually (usb) or bluetooth.

I do need the phone to have a keyboard, so I can edit/add contacts and appointments on the phone itself.

If I need to purchase third-party software to make the sync possible, which software?

Are there particular non-smartphone phone models that do/ do not have this capability?

Unfortunately, Verizon has a particularly bad habit of crippling their non-Smartphones and it can be difficult or impossible to do this sort of thing without hacking them.

My company issued me an LG enV2 and I was able to get it to sync those things, but not without a good bit of research and work. You'll find that howardforums.com is the place to find out about this sort of thing.
