New feature phones anytime soon?

Are there going to be any new feature phones anytime soon? I haven't seen any that I like, and am just wondering if there will be any new ones in the near future. Most of the ones sold now are absolutely worthless and the rest (theres only 1 or 2 of them) don't really line up with my tastes and I'd be better off keeping my old phone then get a new phone that will fall apart in a few months or getting one I don't want.

And please don't just give me the link to the feature phones , I'm completely capable of looking there myself and also please don't tell me to sign up for updates, as I'd rather be told by an actual person than being sent a generic email that doesn't really give me the information I'm asking for.

I'm just curious if anybody has any information about new feature phones coming out this summer. I'd like a phone with at least some of the capabilities of a smartphone, or at least a phone that looks nice and works well, but I'm unable to have a data plan since all my money is going towards a college bill and my parents are in control of my phone bill.

Appearently new phones running MP Brew are in the works but I don't suspect they will be out until late this year. This question has been posted more than a few times and Verizon is unwilling to give an answer. The fact that no one is previewing a phone should also be telling as to when the new phones will ship.

Here is the link to the article: http://mobile.engadget.com/2011/06/03/qualcomm-ships-one-billion-brews-verizon-thirsty-for-more/

Try the new Samsung SCH-U370 available through Target, Walmart, Best Buy and Costco It has many features of a smartphone without the data plan and is free at Target through the holiday weekend. You won't get any info. on it through Verizon though because they are not interested in selling good quality feature phones because they only want to push the smartphones.

Thank you everyone, but we are not able to give out any information on upcoming products, including feature phones, before they are released. We normally announce phones just before they are released, and honestly we find out about the same time as you do. When any new phones are available, you will be able to find them online under the feature phone section.
