Decent phone for £~50?

Hi,
I'm looking into a phone for my sister for around 50 quid. I know the LG Cookie is available from Tesco Direct and is fairly well featured for £49.99 but she doesn't like touchscreen phones.
Would there be an alternative non-touchscreen phone available which has features such as MicroSD slot, MP3 player, camera etc which people can reccommend from experience? Preferably one without the horrible crashing issues which plague many phones with badly written software/OS.
Many thanks in advance for any advice.

I would recommend a sony ericsson W395.
Quite a decent phone for what it costs.
£49.79 including the £10 topup, you can get £6.50 cashback from quidco.

haha - I actually mentioned to her that it might possibly get £36 quid cashback (was a bit skeptical) but even with that she said it'd be useless to her without a microSD slot
Thanks for the suggestion though. Any other ideas would be appreciated!0
