I bought my daughter the Optimus T, and Android phone for T-Mobile. It seems simple to operate and quite nice. She was able to download the apps she needed, she didn't need 400 apps on her phone, and they seem to work well.
She would rather have had an iPhone, but the Optimus T was a refurbished phone from T-Mobile for $119.00 and it came with $30 in airtime, and I was paying for it, not her. She uses it with their $50 unlimited talk, text and web plan. For the difference in price, mainly for the plan cost each month, this will serve her needs just fine and was a much better deal.
As others have said, it depends on what your friend needs in a phone and how much she is willing/able to spend.
Edit: I will also say that I really like the way Google integrates with the Android phones and my Palm Pixi. It syncs with all your Google stuff, which I use more than iCal and address book. If your friend is a heavy Google user, an Android might be a good fit for her.
