On Google Shopping, the cheapest tablet PCs sell for $50-$80, and the most expensive ones sell for $500-$800. I'd check into that phone further. HTC Sense isn't a phone, it's HTC's UI. If it's actually a Sensation, that's probably a decent deal because it's not to old of a phone. In fact, if it is a Sensation and you don't want it, send him my way! I would say look for something that is easily rootable and with a decent AOSP ROM, or just a Nexus device. (google is your friend, and pay attention to the carrier, as sometimes the process will be different for different phones with the same name, such as the Samsung Galaxy SII) Also, you may want to develop for a slightly older version of Android, as I think 2.2 is still a very commonly used version, and 2.3 is the most common. 4.0 is just a sliver of the market at this point, so if you develop specifically for 4.0 you're blocking a significant portion of the market.
