Basically I had my phone stolen today- not a pleasant experience, however I've been advised by my network (Orange) that my cheapest solution would be to buy an unlocked phone and then they can send me a SIM card (rather than buying out my contract which is hideously expensive)

I was using a HTC Desire S, which I was very happy with, so I'd ideally like something comparable to that with a similar screen size (3.5") and the same features (Android apps etc.) Could anyone help by recommending a good deal for around £100-150?

The Xperia U is currently the best there is.
No SD slot is a big pain though, but is on an Orange special at CPW at £100 + PAYG £10.

Phone the store first if buying locally.
CPW are notorious for displaying offer stuff thats never to be available from them again.
