I have not needed or kept up with the latest phone technology, so what would people reccomend and why?

I personally use a HTC Desire, slightly outdated now but still very good in its class, and can be picked up second hand fairly cheap...
I would recommend flashing the device with cyanogenMod which will also give you full root privlages.
With this you should be able to fulfil most of your criteria with apps ect
HA Don't be fooled.
There is VERY little extra you can do with a fully rooted Android phone!
Galaxy S II blows all other phones out of the water.

Question for you DI, I have to assume you won one of those...so I have to ask...does it support video out...
I doesn't use it, but i've read that it's possible http://asf-mobiles.com/2011/05/watch-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-connect-to-an-hdtv-through-its-mhl-port-video/ahh another user..... does it support video out ragtek
That is one of the things about the iphone...I mean I am not going to get rid of it but....I have a phone that I rarely give the number out to that could be stand to be replaced and this would be perfect..like a little portable slice of heaven. The iphone doesn't support a lot of the stuff I want on the road with me but it has a lot of things I do like.There is 1080p HDMI output via an optional(?) cable (around £15) on the Galaxy S II.
I have the older original Galaxy S which sadly only has SD TV-out :<
Also if those formats are what sold you, most Android phones (Galaxy S II included) can also play MKV files (even with softsubs), which is a huge advantage over Apple phones to me. Really handy to not have to convert any videos you put on it
Rooting gives you much more power but it is only as useful as you have use for it!
This is a much better way of saying what I said and I fully agree with you, I could have put it better. Average Joe won't see anymore use from rooting
Sure you can. You are able to do full system backups plus the ability to run some apps that need root access. After having my N1 and constantly messing around with it, there is no way I would have a phone that is not rooted. I am currently a CM nightly crack kid on my g2x. I think I had this phone for less than a week before I rotted it and added a custom CM rom. Now I just need to score a non-us Galaxy S2 phone and I will be happy (for a little bit).This is a much better way of saying what I said and I fully agree with you, I could have put it better.

I'm not saying you won't get extra use but 99% of the general population aren't going to get anything additional to requirements, you don't really need the ability to do full ROM + data backups unless you're flashing it anyway.Sure you can.
