Before you have a seriously unhappy son at christmas, be warned that none of the phones suggested is what he would like. :A

Maybe not, but it's always makes good economic sense to look at options that do not match specified requirements. I for one determined to have MP3 capability on my next phone, but after seeing the design and build quality of the Sagem my150X, I went for that instead.

It would've been helpful if you'd said that the phone you suggested did not meet the requirements.

I am sure the Sagem150x has the design & build quality that any child is searching for.

It's not a slider or a flip phone but the SE W200i for £49.99 on Orange looks good. It's got an MP3 player, expandable memory, a camera (VGA resolution only but that is good enough for using the pictures on the phone).

Or if you can stretch a further ten quid you can get the Samsung E250 Black from Phones4u.
