Hi
I’m new to cellphone development and Corona and looking to get an Android phone to test apps on. The latest Corona info says phone must use Arm V7 processor or similar to develop on. I have no idea which phones have that processor or which would be compatible.
Any recommendations on a phone to buy. Main priority is that it has all the possible development functions like accelerometor/g-sensor, gps, capacitive screen etc.
Have seen some cheapish phones running Media Tek MTK6516 416MHz processors. Are these compatible?

Unfortunately, there is no single Android phone that you can buy and be certain that your app will work on the rest of them. We just found that our app which runs on Galaxy Tab crashes on Motorola Milestone. Welcome to the world of Android development. [import]uid: 10968 topic_id: 8982 reply_id: 33659[/import]
one day, they will kill all armv7 devices because an un-solvable error (just like armv 6)

I think you would be better off purchasing a name brand phone. I have been using a nexus one and a Droid Incredible to develop and test with no problems. [import]uid: 27671 topic_id: 8982 reply_id: 33959[/import]
