If so it's VERY important you get a compatible one. A Verizon phone will not work with any other provider, for example. That's the case with MOST phones except in theory AT&T and T-Mobile, and THEN you need an unlocked phone to move networks. So I need to know what you plan on doing and who your provider is. If you're NOT going to use the phone bit, but JUST use WiFi, then you just need a no-contract.... in theory. I don't know what kind of requirements carriers have put on their phones. > 3.

I don't know about the Xperia, but the other two are CDMA and I think will only work on Verizon. And the Xperia is a... weird game device that's also a phone, I'd kinda avoid that for development. I'd guess that the Droid 2 would be a good phone for development as it was fairly popular. -Yaron --
