As Einstein might say, it's all relative.

So, when asking for a phone recommendations, help us to help you. To get a good recommendation, we will need the following information at a minimum:

What features are important to you in a phone? (i.e. camera, gps, FM radio, Stereo Bluetooth)

Form factor - i.e. touchscreen, slider, flip phone, etc.

Internet - is 3G/mobile internet important, or WiFi/EDGE

Operator - have you an operator preference

Pre-pay/Bill-pay/SIM-Free - have you a preference for either

Price range

Earbuds/Speaker - Are these a deal breaker if included or not?
