I've been scouring ebay for relatively inexpensive replacements for my 3+ year old LG Marquee, and I came across the Galaxy Victory.
I like the 4" screen size (I'm not into the mammoth superphones like the s4) and the feature set of the Victory seems like a perfect fit. I also like that it isn't so prohibitively expensive that I can't afford to replace it if something happens.
But I'm noticing that the development community for this device is rather small, especially the Sprint version (you virgin mobile peeps are at least getting some love apparently). Then I come across threads like this one http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-victory-4g-lte/809770-goodbye-victory.html where it appears some of the few devs that tinkered with this phone have jumped ship.
This seems like a really great device with a lot of potential, but at the end of the day perhaps it failed to launch? Would it be a silly choice for me to jump in at this point? And if so, I'm wondering if there are any similar devices I'm not aware of?
