is the T428 a lost cause?

Be sure that any review here will not be erased, (except some spam made by some sellers and when someone use offensive language)
They are sellers, and they want to sell, If you want to buy a car, when you go to the Ford shop, he will tell you than their cars are the better one and noone have any problem, but if you go to toyota shop, the will asure you that their cars are better than ford and they have not any problem too, it will happend in each brand shop. So to choose your car, where you go? to the brand shop? or you search for info in forums and friends to choose your car?
I am not agree that they delete the bad review, I don't like that, but I must say that geekbuying give us (users) support, at least they try to fix the problems with the devices they sell, they bring us the new roms released, sometimes push the factory to release new updates. They are not so bad. Could they be better? Sure.

When I bought my device (T428) all reviews where positive and unit seem wonderful and working great as describe. Everybody know that was not truth. Here in this community people have knowledge for flashing, some are most advanced and doing a great job.
But what frustrated me the most is the fact most people buy a good for special purpose describe in specs of the good they want. Majority will never even think flashing there device because they bought a good that should work and do not have the ability to do so. Just count people here and you will realise that community is only few individual. Since I own my device I flash it maybe 15 times, never have the chance to enjoy it or putting my favorites app.
By continuing to distribute such devices (not only tronsmart) that are not working, they simply give maker a reason not supporting or fixing since they can continue to sell without any lost.
