Sprint CEO (all but) confirms EVO's for VM (Confirmed!!!)

[cole2kb]

I'd bet that the dev community isn't going anywhere. Besides, we have tons of fully functional ROMs now, which in my opinion includes ICS, it's been my daily for some time. Wouldn't you like the devs here to be able to spread their genius to other devices and users?

Take gannon for example. He has a triumph, but he is continuing development for the OV. The OV devs don't just stop deving

I would love to see some of the OV devs turn their affection on the Triumph. I believe it's still " under-explored" country. The 1 GHZ Snapdragon
processor is a great piece of hardware, so why do we still have Moto T's out there running like Model T's?! The OV was a CHEAP P.O.S
phone by design, (don't get me wrong, I LOVED my Gen1 till it's death, and I sat in my truck crying that day!) and was never meant to do everything it can do now due to great software support. It only has a 600mhz processor & 3.2 mp camera. Imagine what the MT can do with twice the stock horsepower and add great genius to it?!! I know there is a good MT rom posted, but it would be great to see more development & help for this machine especially as it becomes more affordable. It just needs more love! Think about it!

I think the Triumph got a bad Rep due to it's high failure rate. Not sure if it improved since I bought one to replace my ov but I returned 2 to virgin mobile due to hardware issues within a month. I think it had or still has a 40% or more rate of failure. I have since gave it to my son and He has returned it once due to bad sd slot and then had to warranty it cause it slip out of his hand and shattered screen. I've dropped my ov so many times with nothing broken.

It is neat that it is essentially rooted out of the box and recovery is as simple as putting File on SDcard and booting phone.

I think it would be a good phone if Huawei could work on reliability and it got more dev support

Crickie if you went to a dealership and bought a Name brand car only to find out later it was rebadged chinese model, wouldnt you be upset?

That is the problem with the Triumph. Its not so much the processor as the rest of the phone is piss poor parts. Any phone that is released with the problems it had will have issues getting people to spend the money.

Well I for one know that I am going to a new community. Hahahaha love the over family but I would really love to have my hands on some HTC hardware. If it goes through to everyone and anyone that is willing to continue with developement for the ov I am willing to donate my ov.

You mean like half of "American" cars?


That phone should have been lemon lawed.

I love the OV too but I agree, an HTC is way better. I can just hope that the development will be as good as it is for the OV

I have no idea how good the developer network will be on the OneV but I plan on getting one for my mom. I'm not sure if the OneV will be rooted, I have to see how it works for her first, and even then I won't be able to do a lot of dev work on it.

Personally, I will be getting the 3D on launch day (or before), as for what I will make for it... Hard to say, it has a lot of options, GB, GB with Sense, ICS or ICS with Sense. One way or another it will get a version of Harmonia unless HTC/Virgin lock it down incredibly well, but I'm not expecting them to.

The 3d already has a good dev community and they already started tearing apart the Virgin rom for it, so if you are a flashaholic, that will be the phone you want. I have no idea how many other devs are upgrading and I don't know to which phone.

EDIT: Not sure why that link is not going to the VM page for the phone. Works when clicking it from other sites.

Weeeeeee......
So start checking stores around the 14th, you will probably start seeing them around the 20th.
Sometimes you need the store's internal inventory numbers to get them early, if I find them, I will post them.
