I would sincerely suggest to prefer a phone on emulator. Emulator has
serious limitations and make one stuck at a very bad state. Thought i am a
newbie but i have experienced it in these 4 months and now we are trying to
get a cheap used phone for testing.
regards,
wahib

I want to purchase an Android developer phone. It seems to be bit pricey

The ADP1 and ADP2 are for people building replacement firmware. For
ordinary Android application development, any phone that has the Android
Market on it will do.
Also, I wonder what the device provides that the emulator does not.
It makes phone calls! :-)
I would imagine the answer to the above depends on what features of
Android I wish to use in my app. However, I would like to know the
extent of device emulation provided by the emulator.
Does it support accelerometer, camera, maps and other sensors?
Accelerometer, camera, sensors: not in any meaningful fashion.
Maps: yes.
