There's a huge number to chose from -- it most likely depends on your location, budget, and choice of network.
If you're in the United States, check out the HTC Wildfire. It's relatively cheap out of contract (something like $200... and unlocked!):
See it on gdgt: gdgt.com/htc/wildfire/
Specs are pretty modest though:
• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:850/900/1800/1900 MHz, HSDPA 900/2100
• Display: TFT capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors, 240 x 320 pixels, 3.2 inches, Multi-touch input method, Accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate, HTC Sense UI
• Platform: Android OS, v2.1 (Eclair), Qualcomm MSM 7225 528 MHz processor
• Camera: 5 MP, 2592 x 1944 pixels, autofocus, LED flash

I'd say go with one of the LG Optimus phones. They have a variant on every carrier. My roommate has the Optimus V on Virgin Mobile and loves it. It's a great low end phone and you can get it new for under $200 on eBay or used for well under that.
