I know you can get a developer phone but the new G2 looks pretty nice as well as the Samsung around the corner.
I would assume however that it would be a better idea to be using a consumer phone if they are the target market for apps you wish to produce, especially for testing purposes.
Has anyone else had experience from this choice and provide any further illumination to the issue?
G1. It is the only phone with a hard keyboard. When the keyboard is opened up you will get several events/activity relaunches that will not happen on the touch screen only phones. If you are doing apps it really doesn’t matter if you get the dev version or retail one.
Going forward, you are probably going to need to get several phones as the hardware diverges. For example the samsung has a 5way instead of a trackball. Depending on how you are using the trackball, that could be a significant difference.
But as far as looks, get the samsung. It is by far the best looking android phone that I have seen so far.
