The phones from android are rooted and able to be used on any carrier with a supported network. Like Kostya said if your just doing app development any android phone with the market on it will work (rooted or not) if you want to do firmware or mess with the android OS itself like making custom roms you would probably be better off with one from google.

If it's the latter, any phone that has Android Market should work. -- Kostya 26.03.2011 22:21, Aitor Mendaza Ormaza пишет: On Sat, Mar 26, 2011 at 5:18 PM, bob <[email protected]> wrote: Google is selling unlocked Android phones for 399.00 and 479.00.
