NothingMuch, I would recommend the emulator to you as a way to test out 
ubuntu touch.

http://developer.ubuntu.com/apps/sdk/tutorials/using-the-ubuntu-emulator/

I would utilize the x86 version of the emulator, as the armhf is very 
slow. Device specific bugs won't be found in this way, but you can still 
find potential application bugs and report them, as well as get a peak 
at what ubuntu is like on a phone.

Cheers,

Nicholas
