The greatest phone I have ever owned

I was getting pretty fed up with the shitty battery life and signal quality that my Motorola RAZR had been giving me of late. This is of particular interest to me as I have no land line. So I took things into my own hands and ordered a new battery online. Sadly, this did little to fix my battery issues. I eventually decided it was time to buy a new phone. I didn't like what was offered through my provider, as they, like every other provider in Canada, had limited selection and what they did have was only reasonably priced if you're extending your contract or some such bullshit. So I decided I'd remove them from the equation and got an unlocked GSM phone online. It's beautiful and was dirt cheap. My biggest problem with the phones offered by the service providers in Canada is that they seem to have quite a lot of trouble selling a phone that just talks/texts. I suppose it's a profitability thing? but you'll forgive me if I don't want a shitty camera built into my phone that's only going to degrade the device's call quality or something that has a full mobile browser for which I will be charged absurd data rates (Canada is terrible for this). But I digress, I have acquired a beautiful utilitarian Sony Erricsson J100a unlocked GSM phone. I believe it was originally meant for resale in mexico and the central Americas, in any case..I love it. Beautiful call quality, great battery life. What more could I ask for? I'm all for device convergence but it seems so often that this convergence comes with performance compromises. Did I mention it cost $50?
