Have had iPhones, nokias,all sorts of phones. I like the android phones ATM as I find apple too restrictive. Android phones go from 100 to 600 dollars and price is feature dependent so you really need to know what you want. The Samsung s III is a great phone and there is plenty of gear around for it. I have the 3G as I'm regional and 4G is very unlikely to pop up where I travel. The S3 is also quad band so can be used with either Telstra or Optus networks which gives you choice.
Lots of apps for android as well so should cater for you needs. Phones are personal things like cars and power tool brands :-) so make a list of must haves and price range and go from there.

Not many smart phones can take an external antenna unfortunately. If regional coverage is important, try a phone with the 'blue tick' rating as has already been mentioned. All this means is that the internal antenna has been shown to hold onto weaker signals better than other antenna classes. Therefore, better for poorer coverage areas.
There are very few smartphones that are blue tick AND have the connection available for an antenna, but there are a couple. Fwiw, the current iPhone is not bluetick and doesn't have an antenna patch lead port, so it might not be the best choice.
