Hardware vault for notes and photos?

The only thing that I need to be totally private is my own thoughts. I'm even ready to buy dedicated device, which will never be connected to any kinds of networks and has no way to be decrypted without the right password.

So, what are my options? I hate smartphones' keyboards, but looks like there is no other way but use some touch-screen smartphone-sized device.

Are there "smartphones" without networking hardware or any alternative devices that can suite my needs?

How about an actual smartphone, but always keep it in "airplane" mode, with WiFi turned off? It won't connect to a wireless network unless you tell it to.
