Best soldering iron to get for phone/electronic work?

I'm looking to finally get myself some sort of soldering iron, but have no idea where to start!

It would have to have a fine tip for work on things like phone power buttons, electronics in things like radios etc., though I won't be doing really fine work (at the moment anyway) like replacing mainboard parts (Think that's beyond the home DIYer anyway!).

What should I be looking for, has anyone got any recommendations for me for a type of soldering iron to get, or any specific ones? Links to them would be useful too.

Cheers!

I've found a few that are quite inexpensive that have thin tips - how thin a tip will I need for the kind of work I'm talking about doing?
