Motorola and Virgin have kept a bit quiet on when we’d see their latest phone, the Triumph. It’s a decent looking phone that, wait for it, doesn’t have BLUR. Or whatever the hell it is Motorola’s calling it these days. We just might have a date, though, as some modest soul has uploaded a photo to and shared it with the Virgin Mobile Facebook that suggests it’ll be out July 19th. That’s just about under a month from now so those of you eager to pick it up shouldn’t have long to wait if this turns out to be true. Be sure to check our hands-on footage out here. [Thanks Kitty!]
Finally!
Extremely excited about having a mid-high end phone on a prepaid carrier. Hopefully this is the start of a wave of higher-end phones coming to prepaid carriers. I am getting this July 19th, can’t wait to hear about pricing, for 25$ a month, it’ll be worth it.
Make sure you have an account with Virgin already. The lower-tiered plans each raise $10 … so, starting tomorrow, that 300-minute, $25 plan becomes $35, and the $40 goes up to $50. (Unlimited goes down to $55 tho.)
SWEET! I can’t wait to get mine. These babies will sell out for sure. I’m going to be stalking VM’s website and my local Radio Shack store until then…
will this have an unlocked bootloader????
I doubt it
Nice. Too bad I’ll have my Evo 3D tomorrow!! Yeeeeaaaahhhh
don’t care unless my Photon come out the same day.
No BLUR = Bloatware, Lagware, Uninstallable, Ridiculous
A lot of stores better stock this one. They are all going to sell out.
I need to find out if the signal is good in my home area.
Pre ordered mine yesterday. I love my optimus but this phone is gonna rock.
