I don't know why he needs $1000 either. I bought a cheap older unlocked WP7 device for under $250 just by keeping an eye out for bargains.

Contact your local MS rep. I nearly every market, the MS evangelism people have devices for people to test on.

Oh, $1000, was by default. Yup, I asked the local "mobile champ". Due to some complications, I couldn't receive the phone.

What exactly do you intend to create? How is it going to earn you an income? And most importantly, how do you intend to "pay it forward"! Even a donation is an investment!

I intend to create an RSS Reader as a start. Most of such projects will be self-productivity apps. But, when I am convinced I'm ready to create full-fledged apps, I will move on to create a game (for a start) that I had in my mind since years.

To be honest, at the moment, I'm not really into earning an income from creating apps for WP. I just do it for the fun, maybe even earn if possible. When I actually reach to a point, when my skill becomes professional enough. I would want to look for opportunities related to my current activity.
