I love Chinese phone knock-offs, especially these ones http://www.goophone.cc/
 

I totally get the not using it for more than calling and texting, right now I'm in the same boat. Small town, and I'm not usually that far from a PC.
When I live in the city, I need a GPS, so a larger screen helps with that. I also run a business when I'm there and need very speedy internet connections, as well as access to an eBay app so that's when I buy a more expensive device. I wouldn't be able to make nearly as much money without it!
 
For sure, we were all new once

That phone isn't bad at all, but the main reason why it's so cheap is because it doesn't have 4G/LTE. Plus I'm sure the build quality isn't the best either.
I've found found some good, cheap 4G/LTE phones for not too much more than this. I can't link them now, but if I remember to, I will later.
As a side note, Goophone has a really good $120 phone. It's 3G only, but still though.
