[Q] Will there be differences for development?

[kyleallen5000]

So since this device is coming out on three (US) networks as well as the developer edition. Let's say someone makes a ROM for the Developer edition of the phone, is it expected to be able to work on the At&t version (obviously after we can unlock the boot-loader)?

Or for example if someone makes a ROM for the T-mobile version, is it expected to be able to work on the Sprint version?

I'm just curious because if this is not the case, then i need to make sure i get the developer edition (I'm trying to avoid shelling out that much cash up front).

CDMA and GSM have always been separate roms. So the Sprint version won't be able to have ATT/Tmo roms put on it. The Tmo version supports the 1700mhz frequency and the Dev/ATT version doesn't but I am not sure that will cause a difference in the roms.
