All in all..... if depends on what is suited for your need. I use my phone for MANY things so I have a Motorola MPX220 Windows Mobile phone.

My suggestion based on just needing a cellphone to make calls, and having the occasional extras like polyphonic/mp3 ringtones and custom themes would have to be the Sony Ericsson V500. It has above average reception, almost on par with Nokia, and it has Bluetooth capabilities. Also comes with polyphonic/mp3 ringtones and over 5,000 downloadable themes to make your phone look the way you want it. Also has a video cam and it's not so pricey like others.

Second suggestion would be any Nokia.... whatever your need theres a nokia for it.
