i don't think one can use samsung i7500 as a development device. i can't use adb tool to connect the device under windows xp and ubuntu, so i am looking for getting a g1. On Jun 16, 8:06 pm, Delta Foxtrot deltafoxtrot...@gmail.com wrote: 2009/6/16 dindin dinesh.nadara...@gmail.com I don't

You could check out the Pre-Paid plan from T-Mobile. Make sure that you ask whether you can get the plan without purchasing a new phone and whether it works with the G1. With the Pre-Paid plan you have limited costs and you might be to testing on the cellular network if needed. -- Roman

IMHO, you do not want a dev phone if you can avoid it. They let you install your own os on the phone, but most developers don't need to install their own os. Dev phones can't download applications that are protected by drm. I'd just get any working android from eBay.

I don't have T-Mobile but ATT. I want to get an unlocked Android Phone (thinking of the new Samsung i7500 or the G2). Can I use that as a development device to test my applications? Will it even work on another GSM carrier? Thanks. -D On Jun 9, 11:13 pm, Kent Loobey k...@uoregon.edu wrote:

Running apps on Android doesn't depend on carriers, unless you want to test data networking, in any case I'd get something other than the HTC Dream/G1 for ATT if you want data cause ATT EDGE is so slow it's not funny... The HTC Magic supposedly does 900Mhz which I think ATT runs 3G over...

I have an ADP1 here without a sim card - I put that in the Google IO phone - and I can use the phone on my wifi network. HTC provides updates for the ADP directly from their site, I upgraded to 1.5r2 earlier today. So I see no problem in having an ADP or other Android phone without a contract. I

I'm using a G1 with the old non-Android (read: Wifi only) data plan. The only downside that I've seen is the loss of connectivity outside of your Wifi networks. But if you're developing from inside a wireless network, it makes no difference. You can still buy apps on the market, and use all

The following is my opinion. I have a dev g1 phone. I was not able to get it to register with google without a sim card. This means that I couldn't get past the registration screen until I had a sim card. I think google makes it have to go through a phone connection to complete the

There are a few of the unlocked HTC Magic phones available on eBay. These are the ones given out at the Google IO conference that will work without a SIM or on any capable network. Search eBay for Google IO and you'll find them. Nice phones, I wouldn't part with mine for anything. -John Coryat

Hi John, Thanks for the tip, they look like they are quite expensive unfortunately given the low supply. Have you had any experience with developers using a generic t-mobile G1 phone for development without data plan? Cheers, Tom On Jun 8, 10:12 pm, Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)
