Hello,
I want to start developing an application for android and want to buy a
phone for this task. But I don't really know, which one would be the best.
I've heard of the ADP2 from Google, which is nearly the same as the HTC
Magic. But what exactly are the differences? Is it possible to install
the images from http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html also on
the HTC Magic? If I would decide to buy the ADP2 from Google it costs
399$ + 150$ shipment to Germany, is there a dealer in Germany selling
the original ADP2 device?
Or is there an other Android phone for about 399$ available (in
Germany), which is good for development?
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.
Thank you,
is it also possible to install an other Android version on a consumer
phone, e.g the version from here[1] if I don't want the vodafone
branding on the HTC Magic?
