Best Verizon phone for texting?

My E815 bit the dust so I'm looking to get a new phone. I really liked the E815 because it had these huge, easy-to-press buttons that I could type really fast on for texting. Basically the only two features I'm looking for besides clear phone calls on a new phone are:
1. big, easy-to-press buttons for fast texting...I would consider a phone with a QWERTY keyboard too, although in my limited experience these things seem often to be more trouble than they're worth (I doubt it would be much faster to use the keyboard than to text with T9/iTap)...but if it's designed well and easy to text on fast, then I'd be up for it
2. maybe a good speakerphone, although speakerphones never seem to work TOO well on cell phones

I don't need to watch movies or listen to music or play games or read my email or any of that on the phone. Given those two requirements, does anyone have any recommendations on which phone has the best interface/keypad? The cheaper the better, obviously, since I'm paying retail to replace a lost phone, although I'd be willing to spend more for a significantly more usable phone.

Thanks in advance for your input
 
I have the E815 too, I love it for texting, I could write a book with the iTap, I type faster than anyone I know who has a QWERTY phone-those things are entirely obsolete now that iTap is around. Verizon has crap phones, I'm about to switch carriers as a result, my girlfriend recently got that LG they peddle at all the stores and she claims its good for texting but the buttons are kind of small, I'd suggest going to the store and trying them all out.
 
I like what I saw of the enV. A guy kept pulling his out beside me at the bar, so I started pulling out my ocean even though no one was texting me. good for nothing friends. enV would be my suggestion to try.
