Electrum is one of the best I think.
It is very lightweight and easy to use.

As far as i know, there are three wallets which can be used without downloading the entire block chain.
1- Electrum
2- Multibit
3- Bither
If i happen to find another i will let you know.

When you choose a wallet, try some one where you can:
- save your priv key.
- you can sign / valid a message
then read carefully how to make a backup of your keys.
and let's go!

Is that possible?
All the wallets expect Bitcoin Core & Armory (only one that require downloading the blockchain) as far as I know .

Yes definitely possible.
Here you go buddy.

Click desktop, choose between Windows, Mac and Linux.
Then go for wallets with simplified validation like Electrum, Mulbit and Bither.That's it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we already have one (electrum and some other lightweight wallets)?
you are correct.
they are called SPV wallets. these wallets (like Electrum) download only the blockchain headers (it is ~40 MB for Electrum) and connect to dedicated servers which are running a full node and receive / send information from them.
