So far Virgin Mobile's Motorola handset is no Triumph

There are some problems with the Motorola Triumph, affecting those who recently purchased the phone from pre-paid carrier Virgin Mobile. The screen has been flickering and the 5MP camera will not autofocus. Pictures are coming out with a green and yellow tint. Exchanging the phone for a new unit from Virgin Mobile doesn't seem to help, which leads us to believe that this is a software related problem.

Adjusting the settings on the device, or resetting to Factory Settings will not cure the problem. It is a shame for Virgin Mobile customers who had to settle in the past for low end phones to go with their pre-paid plans, and now had a nice Android model priced in the $300 range with no contract. Hopefully, a software update will be pushed out soon to correct the problem.

Besides the 5MP camera with AF, the phone is equipped with an odd-ball 4.1 inch display complete with a resolution of 480 x 800; the Motorola Triumph also came to market with Android 2.2 on board, 512MB of RAM and a single-core Qualcomm MSM8655 1GHz processor under the hood.
