Virgin Mobile Triumphs This Summer

Article first published as Virgin Mobile Triumphs This Summer on Technorati.

VirginMobile USA is about to blow their horn on July 20th, 2011, and announce one of the most anticipated phones of the summer, but also new rate plans to use it on.

The Motorola TRIUMPH features a 4.1-inch touchscreen display, a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 processor, 5-megapixel camera with 720p video capture, VGA front-facing camera, 512MB RAM, 2GB built-in storage, HDMI out, 1400mAh battery, and Android 2.2 (Froyo).

The responsiveness of the Triumph is quite snappy with no lag or delay, plenty of screen real estate for your eyes, and no MotoBlur.


This is arguably the most advanced phone available from any carrier on a PREPAID service basis.

Changes to pricing and data usage costs are a familiar topic in the wireless industry these days, and customers are beginning to understand that the dramatic increase of smartphone usage and mobile internet access, now and in the future, means many carriers are making adjustments to their plans.

According to Nielsen’s May 2011 survey of mobile consumers in the United States, 38 percent now own smartphones. Of those consumers, 38 percent own an Android™-powered device. Further, 55 percent of those who purchased a new handset in the past three months reported buying a smartphone, up from 34 percent just a year ago.

New Beyond Talk plans show that the unlimited option is down by $5, so it really makes a lot of sense to go for the unlimited and not have to count your minute usage.

$35 – 300 anytime minutes / unlimited messaging and data
$45 – 1200 anytime minutes / unlimited messaging and data
$55 – Unlimited anytime minutes / unlimited messaging and data

Virgin Mobile USA, Inc. is a wireless communications services provider based in Warren, New Jersey, United States, founded in 2001 as an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator). This means, unlike AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, or Sprint, Virgin Mobile USA did not own their own network. They simply used the Sprint network under a private label of Virgin Mobile, USA.


Virgin Mobile USA, Inc. commenced operations under the Virgin Mobile brand in June, 2002. Virgin Mobile USA was acquired by its network services provider, Sprint Nextel Corporation, in 2009 and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprint Nextel Corporation. Virgin Mobile has about 6 million subscribers.

If you are looking for an attractive modern smart phone without getting locked into a contract, this is basically the way to go.
