Thanks for everyone's help.
In addition to my Galaxy, I have an old school Nokia, which is MUCH better in terms of basic phone functionality (i.e. calling people). That having been said, smart phones are pretty useful in these parts. I wouldn't get the very cheapest one, but y1000 would probably be worth the investment.
