Currently the best Android Smartphone that has been unveiled is the Samsung Galaxy S II (as of date 2nd March), however this is not available in store yet. The answers from other members are a good bet on what is the best at the moment.
I know in the UK the best Android Phones are the HTC Desire S and Samsung Galaxy S, so the choice is yours. I recommend testing both out and seeing which you prefer the most i.e. HTC Sense UI or TouchWiz.

The top five best Android phones are as follows:
1 Samsung Galaxy S2
You won't believe how thin and light it is. Then you won't believe how fast it is. The Galaxy S II offers a genuinely exciting experience, managing to eclipse all other Android phones in every field.
Apps install ridiculously quickly, while browsing web pages is so fast it's hard to believe you're looking at a telephone screen. The large display is robust and, despite the slim and lightweight case, build quality manages to impress.
You get the latest Android 2.3.3 onboard, while many of Samsung's Touchwiz widgets are resizable, making it a phone that's fun to customise and spend time playing with. This is Android made fast and thrilling.
2.HTC Sensation XE
The HTC Sensation XE is the Taiwanese brand's update of 2011's HTC Sensation, arriving with a slightly faster dual-processor clock speed and integrated Beats Audio features thanks to HTC's deals with the posh headphone manufacturer.
With a 4.3-inch qHD screen and the latest version of Sense coming on board makes it a really zippy and clear experience, and the addition of HTC Watch brings movie streaming and purchase to your handset.
It's a well-built and solid device, and the 8MP camera can record in sparkling 1080p too - it might not be the top Android handset, but it's very, very close.
3. Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S
Sony Ericsson's glamorous take on Android is an absolute pleasure to use, with its curved body feeling great in the hand and the 2.3 version of Google's OS now powered by an updated 1.4GHz processor.
It's not dual-core, but it all moves very well indeed, with Sony Ericsson's user interface additions giving the Arc a stylish feel in use, too. The 4.2" BRAVIA Engine "Reality Display" is bright and colourful, with text sharp and well defined thanks to the high 854x480 resolution.
The 8 MP camera produces great stills, with 720p video looking good despite the occasional glitch when recording. The Arc S is simply a lovely, well designed thing to have and enjoy, that shows both Android and Sony Ericsson's phone-making skills in a great light.
4. Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray
Something for the more modest smartphone buyer, this one. Coming with a 3.3" display squeezed into a slim and angular case, the Ray's Reality Display screen is the star here.
The screen runs at 480x854 resolution, which, when packed into a relatively small space, means a super-sharp and clear display that's as clear and bright as the best of them.
The 8megapixel camera does a great job of capturing both stills and 720p video, while Sony Ericsson's latest Android 2.3 update includes some nice touches like a gesture-based, line-drawing keyboard, plus 2D and 3D panoramic photo capture. It's a very finely tuned and sweet little phone.
5. Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Google and Samsung's 2011 flagship is currently the only official way to get the all-new Android 4.0 experience on a mobile, and for that reason alone it's a must-have for any Android user.
As a smartphone itself, it's a good all-round performer, too, although the omission of an SD card slot is a slightly odd decision.
The large 4.65" screen is glassy, smooth and responsive, running at an immense 720 x 1280 HD resolution. It's bright, plus the 1.2GHz dual-core processor keeps everything running well, while the curved chassis is just about stylish enough to give the phone an edge over some of the more boring black slabs out there.
The 5megapixel camera appears a little weak on the tech spec list, but image results and HD videos emerge sharp and clear - plus it has a cool timelapse feature, too.

Hi there! There are too many phones now and it's really hard to pick one. I'll give you two Android phones that you can check out. I've been following these two since their announcement and I think they're pretty good phones.
OPTION 1: Samsung Epic 4G (or known as Samsung Galaxy S Pro)
Samsung Epic is 4G, obviously and a smart phone. :) But not just that, Epic has one of the brightest screen right now. It has a Super AMOLED screen that makes you see the screen even in direct sunlight. It has a QWERTY keyboard which you can use instead of the screen to maximize the screen space. It has a 5.0 megapixel camera with LED flash. Another amazing feature this phone has is that it can act as a Wi-Fi hotspot (up to 5 devices).
It currently uses ]]Google Android 2.1]] and has 512mb RAM and 512mb ROM. It has a microSD that you can use to add up to 32GB memory space.
This phone is one of the most pricey though for Android phones. But from the looks of it, it's worth it. ;)
OPTION 2: HTC Desire (also known as HTC Bravo)
