What is your cell phoneif choice for privacy/security?

I'm in that market to replace my phone and I'm not to keen on my options. It seems like every smartphone has built in spying for hardware and software manufacturers. I'd like to minimize that. I'd be fine with a phone that does 3 things: Calls Texts Some sort of data\hotspot option for my tablet\laptop to connect to my VPN.

I'd go back to my old Nokia 8390 if it would work on modern cell networks.
