A Orange San Francisco2 might be suitable,think you can pick these up for £100,think they are locked to Orange but can be unlocked,not really a mobile guru,just read it somewhere,someone might come along with a better offer.......hope this helps

Edit: Serach brings this up,so they are more than £100,but hear they are a good phone and it runs gingerbread android>>>>>http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Orange-San-Francisco-II-/160689861653?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones&hash=item2569dcb415#ht_500wt_1413

Yes, there's lots of different Android versions. We're up to Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) now, but you won't find that on anything but the newest (and more expensive) phones.

Anything above Android 2.6 should be fine for your son. Check eBay for a second hand one, you'll probably pick up a HTC Hero or similar for about £50, that'd be more than adequate.

Smartphones under £100

Also, Samsung Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Europe, ZTE Racer ('3', Argos £70)

You can also try the likes of huawei and various other chinese manufacturers who have fairly cheap android handsets.

My niece has bought her three year old son an Iphone4 for Christmas.
Crazy or what? Mind you she's very chavvy
