You may need it on the phone network for the initial setup, hence the loaner SIM. After that, it does not need a SIM. > How compatible are these phones.

That depends a bit on your app. Most apps can probably get by with testing on one piece of hardware, plus emulator images mirroring other setups (e.g., older APIs, other screen sizes). The more your app: -- cares about hardware details (e.g., OpenGL capabilities) -- goes beyond the SDK (i.e., mucks with undocumented stuff) -- needs to match different home screen looks-and-feels the more likely it is that you will need multiple devices. Of course, in my case, I have a fleet of devices, because of what I do, so I may be a lousy judge of what you might need. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
