What Smartphone would you recommend/advise me to get?

Hi, so the screen on my own phone is completely smashed and i want to get a new phone and i just need some help in picking out a phone.

I'm a college student so can't be too expensive...
anyway i'm looking for something with a good music player, good camera, one that apps like facebook, twitter and instagram work well on, fast wifi - the usual kind of stuff people like me use.
i'm just wondering is the iphone really the best phone to pick? i'd have to get the iphone 4s and borrow money off my parents to buy it though, and i'd rather try and save some of my christmas money...
the other phones i have in mind are the htc windows phone 8s, iphone 4, samsung galaxy mini, xperia t, lumia 800, sony Xperia Go ST27i, xperia j, lumia 900, samsung galaxy beam, xperia p and samsung s2..
i know there's a lot there but i really can't go over €400, ideally i would rather stay around €300 but at the same time i'd like the phone to last me over a year or more...thanks
the iphone 5 would cost me €679 to buy which i don't have that money at all
