[Closed] Another phone advice question - need gmail, google calendar, facetwit etc ...

My wife's wildfire s has suffered terminal damage after a close encounter with the baby's beaker so she needs a new phone. It needs to do the normal stuff + gmail, google calendar and facebook.
Does anyone have any tips for a cheap handset to go for? Preferably not a touchscreen, they are a little fragile for the lifestyle.
Alternatively I have an old Nokia N95 which she could use but it needs unlocking (from 3 so ~£35) and I've heard that the google calendar synchronising doesn't work very well. Anyone have any experience of this?

Cheers ...

"Cheap" is relative. What's your budget?

Orange San Francisco / Monte Carlo / other Android handset off eBay?

Ideally <£50 but prepared to go a bit higher if that's not realistic.

I'd be surprised if it cost more than £10 to get the N95 unlocked at an independent phone store.

Samsung Galaxy Ace - £70 from Tesco. Not £50 (and touch screen) but a decent phone for not much £££'s.
