I have an iOS/Android app side project that I'm interested in porting to Windows Phone 8/7. I have never worked in the microsoft eco system. I have 2 questions. What would be a good test device? No contract, not too expensive but also a viable device. Anywhere or anyone recommended to do the development?

You can get a lumia 710 for not much. Doesn't do windows phone 8 but all the 7/8 portable apps will work on it. Never test on a flagship device!

  What do you mean by "flagship device"?

    Used more loosely, it is the lead ship in a fleet of vessels, typically the first, largest, fastest, most heavily armed, or best known.[1] Basically the best phone around in an eco system. You wouldn't want to test on that because it's the best one around the block and not everybody will have that performance/resolution/possibilities.
