New Virgin phone, Motorola Triumph | JULY19 | $300

[bjones72751]

MSM8255 & MSM8655 are the same chip with different radio transmitters
What it is not is a highend chip set any more. There are 4 gens of Snapdragon and the 2nd gen is split into 2 stages with the 1.4ghz just being overclocked from the factory 1ghz and commonly called 2.5 gen. Most of us were wanting it to be the latter MSM8655T at 1.4ghz which atleast released this year.

But if u look up the Huawei x6 u will notice everything but the radio match which is easy to swap out in a sweat shop by 5 year olds in Taiwan. Also taking into account that Moto has never made a device with a 4.1 inch screen. Along with the lawsuit between the two about Huawei making bootleg devices from Moto parts which they settled out of court and are now doing business with each other. Makes u think they may have liked the products they made and are now making them with their permission seems highly likely.

Ok I guess your right about being the same chipset with a different radio. So explain to me why the tbolt is so much faster than the dinc. It can't be all cause of the ram difference.

I can't say why but I can say there are atleast hundreds of reasons why but most likely general quality level being higher. Retail and OEM software have almost no difference between them but in the hardware sector there are major differences between retail and OEM chips and PCBs.

I think the Triumph is a mi410. They sell for 300 in India.

MI410 Spice is another iteration of Triumph, and X6. But the Triumph is the only one to have the other radio and I think the only one with wifi-N another part to the radio chip but yes they all have the same snapdragon cpu chip.

Some specs I saw on the mi410 said 800mb internal storage while the triumph says 2gb internal.

That's probably after all of the system files, apps, ect. There probably was 2 gigs before all of that.

Quite possible. We'll just have to see for ourselves I guess.

Hope it has at least close to the 2GB, the optimus v is kinda small on board

The ov has 512mb rom. I think I had somewhere around 90mb free when it came out of the box. The triumph is also running vanilla 2.2, although its system files might take up a bit more space being higher resolution, and the different chipset that would require different files. I would thing it should still be at least a gig internal.

very well said this is the point I was trying to make exactly.....

I was hoping for a phone deigned by motorola engineers, not an existing china phone with a lil differently designed case and a motorola stamp on it..........

Where do you think Motorola makes all their phones?

 

[zedorda]

Majority of the motorola phones are made in USA but parts of the phones are made in korea and china.

I agree with this statement,no phone manufacturer including Apple builds every component of the phone,lets just wait and see before passing judgement on the quality and price.

I just don't suspect the quality to be any worse than the ov. And with it packing last years high end hardware, along with some of this years high end features I think it will be an awesome phone for us in the pre paid scene.

im probably going to buy this phone on release day regardless, just becuase i like massive screens and faster cpus and prepaid plans.

my V will be reduced to MP3 player status haha

I was thinking today...scary if ya ask me.


But anyways, Wasnt right around this time last year the DX came out?
Yes Verizon sold tons of them, but by September the devs working to crack the bootloader had given up and moved on to the Samasung phone or went to the Dinc.

Moto's track record for android phones right now isnt the best.
I hope this doesnt follow that route.

Well there's a chance the bootloader wont be locked since it was contracted out to huawei and since its a prepaid vm phone. But even if it's locked, the stock phone will still be better than any other prepaid.
