Well, not exactly.

See, at the beginning of next month I'll be switching to another carrier. After the switch I'll sell my MTs that work well and if another DEV wants it, I'll donate my DEV phone.

I wish I had more time for this, but with the new baby and the extra work I have been putting in I just have it. Never really had it to begin with, but now it's even less.

If anybody wants to ask for one of the personal phones, give me a PM and we'll see.
 
Thanks for your work on this cruddy phone.

For all of those who are reading this, I fear that this is spelling the end of the Triumph. All of the devs are leaving, and this phone can't last much longer. Therefore, it may be time to look at other options, such as a new phone on VM or switching carriers (metropcs/T-mobile $50 unlimited talk/text and 500mb data) Or, for those of you who loved the $25 plan, T-mobile has a $30 plan with 100 minutes and 5gb data. If you are worried about the price of the phone, look at the nexus 4 on google play ($300-$350)

Thanks guys. BSydz seems to be working hard on this thing. I'm moving my wife and I to Ting. I got really lucky. A couple of friends of mine gave me an Evo and Epic. With the two of them the service will be about $40. And it gets better with more devices.

I'm hoping to have fixed the repo for who ever would want to have at it. It has taken me about a month so get just about no where.

Anyway. Thank you.

Thanks for all your efforts. All the Devs efforts have made this phone decent.

I tend to disagree with Ben though. G60 just finished a new iteration of his REVAMP ROM which is so smooth, I will probably be content to use until my Triumph dies.

Aw man, this device is on it's last legs. Probably dead already, we still have Bysds on our side.
It was really good to have to dsmryder, I wish you well with your baby and wife. I hope we cross paths again on some other phone you develop on :)

Now.. to wait for the Google S4, the Triumph is just too wimpy now, its dead to me, so it's time for an upgrade.

Thanks for all the work you have done. I definitely know how much time it takes to dig in to this stuff. Many days off, wake up with an idea and find next thing that it is way past time to go to bed.

How bad is the dev phone? Mine looks like it went through a tumble dryer with some concrete, but it works and I got it for like 40 bucks. Shoot me a PM or hit me up on talk, I may be interested in one of the good phones also, my mother has been using my old intercept for a while, and while it was good as a first smart phone, she is starting to get the concept of touching the screen to dial a phone number. :D

Also, I'd like to pick you brain about the power profile. I know you had been working on it a while ago, but I was way off in another direction at the time.

Any way, thanks for your contributions, not only in the dev side but in the community as well.

Congrats on the new baby! I for one remember the lack of time, sleep, and everything when my son came. The second time around I am sure it won't be so hard. To you and all the devs still sticking around on the Triumph my hats off. I still like to tinker with it from time to time. Though the Samsung Victory has proven to be a new fight, as Samsung is a new animal all together. Got CM10 4.1.2 booting but not much else right now. Anyways man, good luck with the new devices!!

Dam I thought you would stay Triumph for life. Not sure how many phones you are currently holding but would not mind playing with the Triumph again. Would put my ars last on the list though. Otherwise congratulations!

At least on the triumph there is a since of drama my nexus 7 is boring it is always up to date and there is no reason to root it but I did anyway.
