[android-developers] Re: Android phone for development
We have: Nexus One, Acer Liquid E, Galaxy Tab, GTablet I don't use the emulator at all any more ;) It's best if you actually use the phone yourself for day to day activity. That way you can actually use the apps you write in real world activity. There is no better way to determine what works and what doesn't. I recommend you simply get one of the development phone that are available after you pay your $25, but if your getting a phone anyway grab one from your local carrier first so you'll actually have it in your pocket to use your own code. Right now I'm carrying around my Liquid E. It's a mid priced phone, and not my favorite, but it does the job and gives me a good idea of what my users will see when the buy my apps. FYI if you can't find what you need locally, eBay can help, but make sure you check the frequencies your carrier uses because there is nothing more disappointing then buying some device that you can't actually use. ... but If you don't have a cell plan, you can still develop on the phone. - Brill Pappin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Android phone for development
I am using a Motorola Droid and an HTC Hero (both purchased used through ebay), and find them to both work well. The phone does not need to be rooted or unlocked, and no phone service is required, unless your app make use of phone services. Also if you want to be able to test on a lot of different devices, there is a service which allows you to connect to phones remotely. It has it's problems, but have found it somewhat useful (although it is a bit pricey). http://www.deviceanywhere.com/index.aspx On Jan 11, 8:52 am, Nabin Shrestha wrote: > Hi all, > > I am newbe in Android application development.
