Ok! This is helpful, because I can see that some of the functions you find very useful are ones I already have on my dumb phone. (And a helluva lot easier to edit w/o a touchscreen IMNSHO)

I have a quite serviceable alarm clock, calendar, to-do or shopping list and contact list on my phone, but not synchronized with my computer. Or maybe they do, I've never bothered to try. What I lack is access to the internet,and even if I had the screen is too small to do anything useful.

I'm pretty sure I could get navigation on a dumb phone, though, if I were buying a new one. That would be a handy function. And I would like a better camera, because I like taking spur-of-the-moment shots, and that means I use my phone. But I think that for the time being I'll do without, because the large screen and access to the internet count both as good points and bad points to me.
