If you are writing applications for use by people with current carrier- branded phones, it's probably best to test on one... ability to change the operating system or framework is nice (and may be possible anyway if the phone is rootable) but you aren't going to convince customers to do that, so ordinary applications have to work within the limitations of ordinary phones. The other reason for a dev phone would be if no carrier local to you offers a suitable android phone; there can be some issues in moving a carrier-branded phone to another network, beyond just sim lock (for example automatic sms messages that are free on the original network, but not on a foreign one) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
