New Tech Alert! Virgin Mobile to pick up the Motorola Triumph!

Big news to frugals and tech geeks out there! Virgin Mobile is yet again paving the way for new Android phones! Introducing the Motorola Triumph. An Android phone that looks a lot like a Droid X (the same maker of the Triumph, might I add), minus the QWERTY keyboard. And this one sure does blow the other prepaid Android devices out the water! The Triumph packs in a punch according to Motorola's website and its loaded with Facebook widgets, stock Android software (rest assured Motorola users, Motoblur is NOT going to be on this device), a 5 megapixel camera on the back AND, get this, a VGA camera on the front for Skype and self portraits, AND HDMI out! Which is A LOT for a prepaid phone. Usually prepaid carriers don't have the nice bells and whistles as contract phones and most prepaid phones, let's be honest, are a piece of crap. But on paper, the Motorola Triumph breaks the barrier of piece of crap and finally gives us money savers out there, a deal of the decade! As of now, there is no price range for this phone but I've got a good feeling judging from the price of the LG Optimus V and Samsung Intercept (2 previous Android devices on Virgin), this phone will probably be ranging from $200-$300 at launch. Now I do know that the phone will be released July 19th. Perfect timing for back to school time and those who are college bound this coming school year!

UPDATE: I just got word that the Motorola Triumph is now on preorder at Best Buy for $299.
