Mom's phone was stolen. Need cheap replacement

Hey there folks.
Mom's phone was stolen and I need to buy her cheap replacement.
It was Motorolla RAZR V3i D&G edition.

Because we both hated motorolla for crappy features of it, i am sort of leaning towards sony ericsson.
I have owned 3 SE phones myself, and can't say anything but good things about them. Especially battery life which V3i lacked.
However because of budget limitations, we have to go with low-end phone as opposed to middle-end phone, and I have no experience with low-end Sony Ericsson phones because I've owned w600/w810/w580 only so I can't say much for their lower-end lineup.

But we're also considering Nokia/Samsung/LG/Siemens. Basically anything but Motorolla.

I've searched eBay, but there's just too many options.
Can you guys help me pick something that really stands out in the crown of other low-end phones?
Our maximum budget is $80'ish shipped and taxes in for new phone. Can be $100 MAX if the phone is really good.
There must be some sort of phone that really stands out from others in the sub-$100 price range.
Few things dont care about:
-camera
-bluetooth
-form factor
-brand
-features
-quad-band (i just need 850/1900 bands)

DO NEED:
-mp3 ringtones
-good display (not necessarily large display...as long as it has alot of colors and good quality its fine)
