In projects like this it is normal to write that phones in Phase 0/1 are 
target to developers. It is other way to say 'help us developing 
applications for target users because we lack developertime for it'.

But when they will say that Phase 1 is for everyone then it will 
match 'phone is ready for using/testing' rather then 'phone is ready to 
be test machine for your apps'. If users will get Phase 1 phones they 
will know that software is not ready yet because it has to be ready for 
Phase 2.

The more normal users, the more complains.
