Try and find an Orange San Francisco, best bang for buck phone ever made (I have one myself) and it was available for £89.95 at one point. It can be unlocked to any network easily and for free.

I bought one for my son last year and it seems to be serving him well!
 
Phones4U are supposedly doing an upgrade instore on an HTC Wildfire S this weekend only. £99 I think and they give an additional £10 free airtime. I believe all you need for an upgrade is the sim and phone number from your old phone.
 
I've heard good things from friends about the orange san Francisco, and the new improved version came out recently (although I'm struggling to find any reviews on the new one).
 
Get a phone which is at least running Android 2.2 (froyo) as there were a number of improvements.

Froyo to Gingerbread didn't bring huge changes so isn't a requirement.

HTC has Sense running on top of Android which IMO is excellent and gives the 2.x android devices a more polished look and feel.

After having a Desire and Legend I'd never buy another HTC. The Desire lasted 6 months, and even though the Legend works, it needs a hard reset every week. From personal experience I'd not recommend an HTC. Furthermore the OP was after a <£100 mobile. Can he get an HTC running 2.2 for that???

the wildfire s runs 2.3

Got my Desire HD rooted and it's now flashed with Runnydroid rom and it's so quick and responsive now compared to stock....can't believe i didnt do it earlier
 
Posting this from my desire that is coming to the end of its 2 year contract in Feb. In 2 years it hasn't missed a beat.

My friend had a problem with his desire. HTC gave him an estimated fix date, it wasn't returned to him by then, he phoned up and without getting rude they sent him a free car dock and charger as an apology.

HTC have always been one of the best with updates, although other companies are much better.
