Motorola Triumph Overview
The Motorola Triumph for Virgin Mobile sports a 4.1-inch screen on a super thin .4-inch body. With a 5MP camera that shoots HD video, a VGA front-facing camera, and HDMI-out, the Triumph offers a great set of features for Virgin Mobile customers eager to get their Android on.
The Motorola Triumph is the first Motorola Android Phone available EXCLUSIVELY for Virgin Mobile customers, and ditches Motorola's traditional "MotoBlur" UI in favor of a stock implementation of the OS. As far as prepaid smartphones are concerned, this is about as good as it gets.

Motorola Triumph Reviews
Engadget "The Triumph proved to be one of the better looking and performing pre-paid handsets we'd had the pleasure of holding in our sweaty mitts, but we had one major hangup: the name."
Android Community "Here’s a Motorola candybar you’re not going to want to miss. This is the first Motorola device to be carried by Virgin Mobile, and the biggest and by far the most impressive Android handset you’re going to be able to purchase off-contract for under $300."
Laptop Mag "The Motorola Triumph provides a very good Android experience without a contract, but its battery life is short."

Motorola Triumph for Virgin Mobile First Impressions [VIDEO] The Motorola Triumph for Virgin Mobile was a pleasant surprise at today’s joint Motorola/Sprint event. The phone gives off some serious Droid X vibes with its blocky look, 4.1-inch screen, and 1GHz Snapdragon processor. But perhaps the most interesting choice here was using stock Android 2.2 (Froyo) rather than a MotoBlur-ified user interface. As a [...]
