Comment on Which android phone is good for android app development?

If you can afford it, I'd recommend both the G1 and the G2. The G1 is pretty much the lowest end device you'll have to deal with. I still have and use mine regularly, and it is impeccable, though it's stuck on Android 1.6.

The G2 is the other end of the spectrum. It's far more cabable, modern, bigger, yadda yadda. It's probably more like the top end phones you'll see more frequently.

If you have to only get one or the other, go for the G2. If you want to make sure that your stuff works on lower end devices, pick up a G1 too -- you should be able to get one for a song.

For a top end phone, I'd recommend something which has been promised to receive 2.3 quickly, which as far as I'm aware, is limited to the Nexus 1 and the Nexus S.
