Big boy Say: Motorola Triumph Prepaid Android Phone Virgin Mobile

This review is for: Motorola Triumph Prepaid Android Phone Virgin Mobile
This phone is awsome!!!i have switched around from a few different phone companies and used many different phones (including the various iphones). this is easily my favorite. I must say this phone is one of the largest phones i have used and it is awkward at first but after that it is great. Particularly because i have big hands and fatty thumbs, this phone has solved my problem due to the large screen and keys i can type very accurately and quickly. The phone is quick and never lags. pictures are pretty good with the 5mp camera, the video recording is not that great but for a cell phone i found it to be reasonable. internet browser is pleasant and doesnt give me any trouble. videos works great. found the phone’s performace to be on par with the iphone 4 the only real difference being that it has a slightly smaller screen resolution, but that hasnt been noticeable. the android operating system is very nice, allows lots of access to apps and is simple to use.As for the carrier. Virgin mobile has been pretty good. they are low cost at $35 per month for unlimited data(3g) and texting and 300 talk minutes. there signal is great in the city and close to. When i go camping is the only time i dont get service. I certaintly cannot complain when i was paying over $60 at other companies. Virgin has outsourced support so trying to talk with someone for help can be challenging at times. they dont have any hidden fees or weird rules or contracts so your essentaily free of carrier tyrany. all in all, the phone is great and the carrier is good so i am very happy.

Too many 1 stars and I think I can clear up this negative rating!!, 2011-11-16

bbFirst I’ve been an Amazon reviewer reader and writer for many years! I use Amazon because I know the reviews are from real people like myself and I can tell from these reviews if a product is a problem. Now as a Virgin Mobile Samsung Intercept owner I wanted to upgrade and the large thin screen with a 1ghz processor seemed like a no brainer, so I read the reviews and what? There are many 5 star and many 1 star reviews….this confused me, but knowing that that is most always a 30 day money-back guarantee with the Virgin mobile phones I took my Amazon discounted Motorola Triumph page to my local Bestbuy electronics store and they matched the price! So if I may I would like to go into a quick past with my old Virgin mobile Samsung intercept for a second….I purchased the Samsung Intercept and had all sorts of problems, I upgraded the system operating system and with the correct apps made the Samsung a very stable smart phone but slow. I was pleased, but after a year and seeing that Virgin Mobile has a new DROID X phone called the Motorola Triumph I had to go for it. The Motorola phone size is thin, sturdy, beautiful screen and fast, in fact compared to the Samsung, super fast. The memory to run programs is about 1gb. This is just for programs!!! Everything works perfectly, Blue-tooth on my car, wifi, mp3 player,(I’m using power amp app which is fantastic)for videos I added the MX player app which is a must to play HD videos, speaking of HD videos/pictures the camera has a flash and takes perfect pictures and the camcorder can take 1280x 720 videos! 2x free app is a must for saving the battery draw. The 3G speed is about 3 times the Samsung Intercept, the screen is larger and an Iphone and the detail on the screen is just like my friends HTC fancy large android phone. I checked and my phone software ends in .39 Maybe if you check the one stars on this phone you will their software ends in .38 I dont know the difference and I don’t care. I love this phone and I can tell you the reason people are complaining about the battery life is because this phone is so fast, so bright, so detailed and holds so many apps its hard to put it down and shut the screen off!!!! In conclusion, I would like to point out that I did have a problem with the GPS starting time, so I did much reading and loaded the free GPS tester app on the phone (free on the market) and now I can run the tester if there is a problem and see the satellite signal etc and when I switch to the navigator GPS on the phone it shines!! This is the best Virgin Mobile Phone on the market! I’m one still on the #25 dollar plan. BTW use superbox app, it does everything you need.PROS:
Fast,runs every app I can throw at it
Very bright screen and very detailed
Memory for holding and running apps is 1gb (great)
Memory for running the processor is 200mb or more
Processor speed is 1gb (fast)
Pictures and Videos are fantastic taking and playing (set to high)
Camera flash works well
Case is well designed with a rubber none slip feel and very thinCons:
Battery life drains faster than I would like
1. because the phone can not be put down!!!!
2. Use the battery saver apps like 2x battery or others.IF you have a problem with the GPS starting,
try running the free GPS tester app first.UPDATE:
Everything above still stands. I also found the black Empire kit that Amazon sells with the pouch, car charger and AC charger to be a must. Also the phone comes with the side power button programmed to drop cellphone calls. You can unprogram this in settings. This is a must for me because I was cancelling my calls while taking the phone out of the pouch. I also downloaded the super keyboard app and it works better for emailing /texting on the screen. This phone is now my emailer, texter, mp3 player, camcorder, camera, flashlight, gaming device, newspaper reader, weather monitor, GPS (better than a garmin) my calculator, VM Minutes monitor, barcode reader,google voice search and much more anyone who gives this phone a one star is crazy, this is the best VM smartphone to date!
