By "they" you probably mean Virgin. "They" are a rip-off. Try eBay. You may be able to find an OEM battery for ~$10.

Officially, yes, but you can find individual SIMS and/or airtime top-ups at
http://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/
There are also rumours of another SpeakOut promotion starting 16Nov. Usually that means buy $100 of airtime (~500 local minutes) and get a free Nokia 1600 or 1208. You could use the SIM out of that and sell the "free" phone (it's unlocked) on the site above or eBay. By contrast, at 2€/min you'd go through $100 in ~30min.
