New Mobile Phone

Hi all
I am looking to get a new mobile phone and I'm really unsure of what to get!
I previously had an HTC Wildfire S which suited me just fine so want something similar (it is dead, no chance of resurrecting it).
I'd like a touchscreen but most of them seem to be pretty pricey. I'm not really interested in all the 'smartphone' features although it would be good to have some kind of internet access on occasions. There seems to be a gap in the market for an inexpensive 'basic' smartphone but I guess they aren't in demand. Cheap ones seem to be old models which I think seems to be a false economy?
So my question would be, can someone recommend something that might work for me? Budget would preferably be less that £60 but happy to take suggestions up to £80.
Thanks to all, hope I've not been too vague
Edited to add, want it to be SIM free, I'm on giffgaff.

Have a look at Moto E. It should around £60
If you got £125, go for Moto G 4G @ tesco0 -

...or half price if you have got enough points with Clubcard Boost

I bought my mum a Moto E. She's very pleased with it.
I'm not sure that you would get one as cheap as £60 sim free though.0 -
