Need new T-Mobile phone - loud speaker big keys

I'm with T-Mobile, no contract.

I missed a business call today that cost me a bunch of money, because my cell
phone ( a Samsung T249 ) was in my purse side pocket and I didn't hear it
ring!

So I need a new phone now, this time with a LOUD speakerphone feature, and I
always like big keys. Don't care about internet or any of that, but it has to
be reliable, have a really loud ring and speaker, and big keys. Oh, and a USB
port for transferring my own ringtones!

Anyone?

I have no recommendations but one NON-recommendation. Avoid Samsung.
I've had several and they all suffered from weak sound systems, I
couldn't hear them. That was some time back but don't get any Samsung
w/o testing the ring volume!

Unfortunately they don't have local stores.

I had a similar problem with my Android's anemic ringtones. Instead of
getting a new phone, why not try downloading a (free) loud ringtone?
Solved my problem.
