Virgin Mobile New Big Rock: Motorola Triumph. Hands On Review

          Yesterday, I went to Bestbuy to switch my old Android phone(Samsung Intercept) to Motorola Triumph. Some people may want to know how I can switch my phone. It's not hard: when I bought Samsung Intercept, I bought the 2-year insurance for around 40dollars. When the new phone come out, I went there and said the Intercept was very slow and junky which is totally true... I don't want this phone anymore and then I ask them for a different one, the Motorola Triumph.


          The reason why I want Motorola Triumph is because it has superfast 1Gz CPU, 5mp camera, front-facing camera, 720 HD camcorder with HDMI output too. And it's from Virgin Mobile, my monthly plan now is 25dollars: 300minutes talk, unlimited internet and text. I don't think they will switch me to the new 35dollars plan because I'm a old customer.
          Review: When I used Google Map on Intercept, Intercept will be very very slow, and sometimes shutdown itself and turned on for around 5minutes. It was tally waste time and annoy. Sometimes, when somebody called me, I can't reply to them because when I pushed the reply button, the phone didn't respond anything... Furthermore, the screen is very small and the quality of the image is >_<(Hurt my eyes a lot). Although I have upgraded it to Android 2.2, it still can't play flash... I really think it's a failure in Android history


          But Triumph is superfast, it's may be even faster than Galaxy I9000(When I was in China, I used Galaxy). It respond very quickly. It will not waste your time but save time(Android smarphones real job). The screen is awesome, although it's not Super AMOLED as Galaxy, it's good enough to surf internet, read news, watch movie. The UI sense is from stock Android 2.2. The UI doesn't look very cool as HTC's, but it makes triumph respond superfast. I don't think I will go to install a custom ROM for it. I just want it to be fast L0L.The screen just has the right size for me. 4.1inches is not too big or too small. If it's too big, it will be hard for me to hold or text to others with just one hand. If it's too small just like Intercept, it will hurt my eyes a lot... In the instruction of Triumph, you will notice that Triumph has a 5mp camera. To be honest, the 5mp camera is not that good as many people think. I can't take really good photos from the 5mp camera. I recommend you that you'd better use your digital camera to do this job... If you go to the Virgin mobile official site to see the 360 degrees review HERE, you'll find there are 3 buttons on the sides of Triumph. The one on the left side is "OFF/ON and Sleep" button. The two on he right is for volume. If it has one for camera, it will be better. The quality of the sound may be better than my iTouch lol. Furthermore, the out put HDMI is pretty useful for my class.
I have posted my screenshot below. I don't know if I need to write a review about some cool APPs in my phone. If you guys have any question, please leave it below.
