Yes, any phone will do. You don't need a developer's phone unless
you're doing OS development.
My personal preference is to use the slowest and most primitive device
available for development purposes. That way, once your app works on
that device, it will work anywhere. Use emulators to test

I agree using an old phone is a good idea
But keep in mind that Android comes in different versions, and some
phones are only on version 1.5 (like the HTC Eris) while other phones
are using a much newer version (like the Motorola Droid which is on
2.0.1). The Android Virtual Device (AVD) emulator that comes with the
development
Note however that the Eris is running Android 1.5, so anything written
for a newer version of Android can't be tested on the Eris. The
emulators do a decent job of testing apps, although anything that uses
the sensors, camera or multitouch usually require a real device.
