Just wondering, are there still any cell phones without built-in cameras?

LOL!

In December of 2007 we finally replaced our 7-year-old phones, and being cranky and old fashioned, I just wanted a damn phone.

Didn't happen.
I got the simplest free phone available, and I now have a camera whether I like it or not...

And there is where you went wrong. Cameras on phones represent a revenue stream for the cell phone company. Each "media message" that you send (notice there is no other way to get a picture off the phone), means that the phone company gets 25-cents.

If you want a phone without a camera, music player, video player, etc. you have to pay $$$ because you are depriving the phone company of their revenue stream.
