    1. I think there is not and will never be 2.2 for SE Mini.
    2. I think you can install 2.2 on Orange San Francisco available for about £100

    Yes there are many custom 2.2 ROMs for Orange San Francisco and there is 2.3 for Orange San Francisco as well but it is not stable from what I read on boards.

    Huawei Ideos 1850, (company makes a large number of branded phones and dongles) got mine from ebay for £112 delivered. Great phone with Android 2.2 and completely unlocked. So good (and cheap) both my son and a couple of friends bought them as well. Couldn't be more pleased.

    You might find a guy with a store that can do a rom upgrade .
