The sizes of the phones changes constantly, so which phone do you base your website for?

If you've worked on multiple websites, you've probably reached the conclusion already that designs will differ mainly clients needs and a breakpoint of say 360px width might be appropriate for one website but not for another.
Of course, if you have certain handsets available for testing, then use them. But consider the meaning of the word breakpoint. In Web Design, the breakpoint is a point in your design where it "breaks" or no longer looks good and needs a media query to tweak it. It's not linked to a particular size, but based purely on the needs of your design! :-)
