I didn't misjudge it. The indicated price is based on the store featured above - in this case, Expansys. I'm sure if one shops around a bit, they can find it for cheaper.

That's a positive sign. Although, I should mention that I tested it with three standard Optus, Vodafone, and Telstra SIMs (none locked and no multiple SIM scenarios), and all were a victim of the echo issue. However, if rumours are to be believed, the next ROM just might solve it.

Fortunately, it can be disabled and/or uninstalled.
