OK, I have just tried out the debugger on a real device (Samsung Galaxy SII) and it is by far faster. Stepping around when debugging happens within a second, so that is pretty good. The response time on a slower phone (HTC Desire) is a bit longer though about 2-3 seconds per step, but it is still a great improvement of the emulator. So I would go for it and buy a device to debug on if you don't like to wait.
