Ringtone Quality Loudness Champ?

I need a new phone, specifically... a new phone that's a ringtone quality champ
I only have 3 must-haves, they are:

1. Able to have high quality *LOUD* ringtones. Something that can be heard a mile away and sound nice doing it =) When I mean with high quality is that the phone can output megatones/realsounds where you can actually tell what the singer is singing rather than some midi file
2. "Hackable"... must be able to upload my own ringtones from my computer to the phone. I have somewhat extensive computer knowledge, it wouldn't take me too long to figure out how. I just need to make sure the phone has been cracked by programmers and can be manipulated.
3. Good non-bluetooth wired headsets

Preferables:
Nextel, Sprint, Cingular, T-Mobile or Verizon
Phone can be opened(insides not stuck together), I'm a modder so I'd prob replace the phone's outsides with glass/aluminum/wood/whatever
Cheap Phone, but can last a long time
Good image quality color screen
Can vibrate, I'm in school a lot
Flip phone(Cause they look better modded)

Dont care at all about:
Games on phone(I'm definitely not going to play games on my phone)
I dont have fat fingers, so I can deal with cramp numberpads
Phone's sexyness/thin'ness (I'm going to change the outsides myself anyway)
Camera
Video Camera
Web capabilities
Phone weight
Long Battery Life

If any kind souls can give me to a list of possible models, I would be forever grateful. Thank you, and I hope to upload pictures of my future phone mods.
 
A Moto flip (v551/557 or something like those) might work well for you. Two of Moto's built-in ringtones, Continental and Siren, are shrill and will strip the paint off the walls when they ring!
 
If you can forgo the clamshell thing, then the E398. It comes loud stock but you can raise the volume 1 or 2 levels by editing the gain tables. Stereo speakers with vibe sync, they kick ***. It also has a 2.5mm jack so you can buy basically any wired headset you want.

Plus you can get them brand new, unlocked and contractless for under $200 on ebay
 
I don't know about non-bluetooth headset options, but the Motorola E815 definitely has loud ringers, and they are pretty cool too. I have never had a phone with ringers that loud. This phone is also very hackable. Check the VZW -> Motorola forum for lots of good info.
