There are still dedicated "phone only" cell phones in use and being manufactured, but they are in small quantities as a niche market. Some companies require that
only these types of cell phones be carried by employees on company property and/or business travel, because they are worried about government or corporate espionage. (Of the "hack into a smart phone and overhear everything said in the vicinity without the hapless employee realizing" variety.)
As for video game consoles, I remember seeing new third-party machines awhile back that promised to play one's old Genesis or SNES games. Again, a niche market, but the question here was "can you get one new" and the answer is yes.
Last I checked, you can still buy AM/FM car radios. Not everyone wants to go to satellite. (Or is that not what you meant.)
Dunno about word processors. You may have found the one thing. But I can find new typewriters...
