I think it really depends on what you use your phone for and how much you are looking to spend. If you are just a casual user (sounds like I'm counseling you on drugs, but in a way it is kinda like a drug) and use the phone mostly as a phone or social media (facebook, texting tweeting) there are plenty of models out there that will accomplish this task and not break the bank. If you are looking for a powerhouse of a phone then I would recommend the Samsung galaxy sII or if you can get you hands on one the galaxy nexus. Both of these phones are the absolute top of the line right now. Even look at eBay for classics such as the original evo. If your like me though you will need the latest and greatest of everything.
