Greetings!
Anyway, My question, If you want to experiment developing for a Windows Mobile device, how would you go about testing your applications? I know there is a emulator but is not really ideal.
Is there anyway, without paying a stupid astronomical cost, to get a development phone? Akin to what Google did with the android and I guess Apple did with the iPod touch. Ideally pay as you go so you could test connection features.
Thank you in advance.

You can get WinMobile phones sim-free a lot cheaper than Android Dev phones.
Have a look at something like the Samsung I200 - WinMobile 6.1 Pro and £160 sim-free in the UK - half the price of the android dev phone.
Sim free phones are ideal, you can use the free PAYG sim cards all the networks give away these days.
EDIT: Even £160 is a lot - try the BenQ E72 (WinMobile 6) for £100 or Samsung i300 (WinMobile 2003 SE) for £70
