Cheapest Android 1.5

Question

I am looking for the cheapest Android 1.5 suitable for development on it . Since the emulator is too sluggish for my needs, I want a real device. Can you recommend any source where you can get such an old device? I looked at eBay, but I don’t know which device to look for. Maybe you recommend a list of available devices Android 1.5?

Answer 1

HTC Dream / G1 should be the cheapest option. I got mine for 88 bucks sent from eBay ... works fine.

Actually, the OS may be Android 1.6 (I don’t remember how I eventually installed CyanogenMod), but it doesn’t matter, since you can still write and test 1.5 applications on it.

Update: according to the phone book Wikipedia page, the official version of the OS is 1.6.

Answer 2

The most recent (and probably powerful) device 1.5 was probably the Dell Blaze, but finding it will not be easy. G2 also comes with 1.5.

Answer 3

G1 MyTouch - Android, craigslist ebay.
