Flip phones

Blackberry Storm? Flip phone that has a keyboard and a touch screen. Some of the folks at work have it, its nifty. I have a Bold. Not a flip phone, but still a decent phone but in no way fits your parameters.

THAT IS THE WORST PHONE EVER.

Those things are plagued with hardware problems and it's touch screen is HORRENDOUS. Typing anything takes forever and it's slow. Worst 2 months of my life using that thing. I'd rather have OP's flip phone. The Storm (no 1) is terrible. I've messed around with the new one and it's better, but still sucks. The stupid click to the touch screen is useless and annoying.

OK I just tried it again, apparently I was being a Nancy yesterday cos it works just fine now. Might have had something to do with my OD on cookies.
Still doesn't solve the small buttons issue, and it still isn't AS easy as opening my flip phone.

I recently picked up a Pantech Dou (?I think?). It's a dual slider and has an "unlock sequence", but it serves it's purpose.

I'm surprised by the "quality feel" of such a cheap phone.

I had one of these when they first came out. I loved it ,except for the fact that I couldn't hear anyone on it. Hope yours is better than mine was.
