I find it annoying that it's virtually impossible to get such a phone in "the west". I've been looking forever for a phone that enables usb tethering and is not a touch screen. Touch screens sucks when it's cold outside and you are waring gloves, so I need buttons, big buttons.

5 mins on amazon will find you what you are looking for. There are a whole bunch of feature phone and basic carrier/prepaid phones out there. Some of them will also do usb tethering but its a bit difficult to actually set up since it needs obscure drivers. You can also go for the higher end blackberry which still keeps physical keys and runs full blown android.
