Cheap & sturdy phone for my dad.

Hi,

My dad has been pestering me to get him a new phone (he is going to front the cash) He wants to spend between £40-£60. So he doesn't want anything too fancy. He is a builder you see, so something sturdy would be a real plus.

Any recommendations guys?

Whatever it is, get him one of those silicon glove type case, it'll protect it against knocks, dust and little moisture too.

Get him a 1112 - great batt life 12 days! small light well built - get him 3 of them for £20 each - so if he trashes one he's got 2 more
