[Interest] Semi-OT: Smart phone for programming

[K. Frank]

Hello List!

I am thinking of getting a new smart phone to replace an old blackberry
that I don't like that much and whose battery is wearing out.

I am strongly leaning towards an android-based phone, but would be
open to other suggestions, as well.

One moderately important criterion for me is to get a phone that I can
program relatively conveniently, either using Qt, or natively, or both.
What phones would people recommend it terms of both a good phone
and a smooth programming experience?

Also, what tools should I expect to need to program (and load apps onto)
the phone?  Is it as simple as a computer, an sdk, and a usb cable?  Will
I need to get any special hardware?  Will I need to pay the phone company
for the privilege of programming my own phone?

Thanks for your advice and suggestions.

(I may also post over on the android-qt group, but let me start here, for now.)
