Just about any phone is fine for Android application development. You only need ADP1 or ADP2 if you want to replace the firmware (i.e., load your own modified copy of the Android OS). So, I would find one that is available for sale in Germany, either through a carrier (e.g., T-Mobile) or through other channels. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in US: 14-18 June 2010: http://bignerdranch.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
