As others have pointed out I do not think you are going to find exactly what you need as far as no cpu. All of the analog stuff is gone. And the more the providers digitize the more customers they can get into a given BW so they are not going to go the backwards. In order to process those complex wave forms they need processing power. So anything you get will be processor based.
Here is a web site I ran onto, I had a similar request made to me. (No com- puter stuff just a phone) and so I sent them something similar to this: http://www.gazelle.com/thehorn/2013/12/11/5-best-cell-phones-seniors/ They settled on the Jitterbug, big numbers and big keys. Not much computer on the front panel.
