There is a limit for the value of imported goods. The limit is higher for gifts than for commercial goods, but it is somewhere in the order of 25 Euros. Your friend will definitely have to pay tax if customs finds out you are sending a phone. I think the tax will be 25% of the phone's value plus some processing charges.
