   Android Dev on 'Locked' Phone?
  This doesn't seem like appropriate Lounge conversation, but the other forums seemed less appropriate. ^^I'm kicking off some Android development.  I'd like to be able to test on a real phone without purchasing the $400 dev phone.  But I don't want to go through a store and get tacked onto an expensive data plan I've no need for.  Basically I want to get a cheap phone off ebay/CL.Has anyone tried connecting to a 'locked' (no SIM, no data) phone via the Android SDK?  Anyone know if it works/doesn't?  I've read that some phones start, some phones may not, but the SDK tools might go ahead and launch anyway?  I dunno.Cheers,--Brian   
  I will say that if you're getting a new android phone (usually expensive without plans) you might want to look into getting one with a plan and taking the cancellation fee as a hit. The phone might still come out cheaper than buying a phone separately.EX: nexus one + tmobile contract = $179 + cancelation fee (I think $200?) = $379nexus one without anything = $529No idea on the actual question though, which is odd because I have my nice shiny GDC droid in the other room.
