Can Anyone Suggest a Phone?

Hi
I want to buy my Mum a new mobile for Christmas and am looking to spend about £50 max. She currently has a libery sim from Virgin so the phone needs to be on the Virgin network or is there somewhere I can buy one where it is likely to come unlocked?
The phone needs to be fairly basic as she only really uses it for calls and sending the occasional text. Ideally she would like a camera but it doesn't need to be anything hi-tech.
Can anyone suggest anything suitable or the best places to look - any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Did you look at http://www.virginmobile.com/vm/payAsYouGoPhones.do ?
Something like a Nokia 2680 would probably do her: http://www.virginmobile.com/vm/viewProduct.do?productId=738DEF8B-DDCC-4995-9FE4-67945C876C81 at £39.99.0 -
Thanks for the reply - I had looked at the phones on the Virgin website but nothing had really jumped out. In the end we decided on either the Nokia 2680 or the Nokia 2330. My Mum picked the 2330 as her current phone is a slider type and she fancied something different.
Hope this phone works out ok for her - thanks again for you help.0
