You don't need a development phone to try out apps. Dev phones are for
people who want to change the OS. Any Android phone with WiFi but no
plan could be used to try out apps.

Search on ebay or wait a few months, as current owners of the HTC
Magic with 6 month contract (like me), will want to move on to newer
devices.

Hi Ron,

I found that acquiring a Tmobile G1 on eBay a cheap alternative to
buying an ADP1.  You should be able to get a used G1 for about $200,
and a new one for about $300.  Make sure you get an unlocked one if
you plan on using it on a network other than Tmobile.

Judging by your email address I don't think you have the same problem
as I do, but shipping an ADP1 out of the USA is really cost
prohibitive.

-Bart.
