Okay. I'll check that out. Still can someone suggest a reasonably
priced android 2.2 or above phone?
Thanks
Since no one's giving you any advice I'll give it a try ;)
The dev phones I use myself are Motorola Milestone XT720, HTC Desire,
Samsung Galaxy S and a Google Nexus S; one for each OS revision. I know
these are all high-end devices, but I can try to extrapolate my
experience with those.
Objectively, they're all fairly similar for development purposes. I
don't use these phones for anything besides testing so I can't comment
on any Android customizations each vendor might have made. Subjectively,
I prefer the HTC the most in terms of feel and build quality. HTC seems
to do a pretty good with their OS updates as well and they actually use
OTA updates rather than requiring some buggy proprietary tool.
If you stick with HTC the only model they seem to have in the 230 euro /
Rp. 15000 price range is the wildfire. The wildfire is listed in Belgium
at 229 euro and the wildfire S at 289 euro. The first one is a Froyo
device, the second one Gingerbread.
I don't know about the specific Samsung model you mentioned, but the
Galaxy and Nexus are pretty good too FWIW. The only downsides to Samsung
IMO is that you have to use Kies to perform upgrades which can be a pain
and they feel rather flimsy, plasticy. The HTC has a sturdier feel to it.
Hope this helps,
Pepijn
