Question about
What is the primary reason(s) for the price difference between the Triumph and similar phones?
The triumph lacks an aftermarket UI (has the stock android UI only) but costs less than a phone with one. What else does the phone lack that something like the Droid Charge (that causes the Charge to be priced at $500+)

Virgin Mobile's whole policy is that none of their phones come with any custom UI. (Thank goodness!) As for the price difference, The only thing that comes to mind is that 4G Radio, or all the money that VZW spends on marketing. But if you look at VZW prepaid smartphones, (especially the older ones) they only run $375. The Xperia Play new only costs $450 by itself, the nexus s is $529! It depends on who makes it. Hope this helped

The Triumph is an intensely cheap feeling device. That being said, I own one just because it's Android...and it's cheap monthly service. If you hold Droid X in one hand and a Triumph in the other, the only similarity you will find is the sharp design, and the Motorola logo. So the biggest difference is definitely hardware quality- look into the forums and you'll see that Huwaei manufactured the device.
Secondly the performance is not amazing. The stock launcher is surprisingly decent, but who wants to pay $300 for decent? I replaced mine with LauncherPro as with any phone I get and it still feels iffy. Not bad, but iffy.
Camera quality, if you want to compare to a Charge, isn't terrible but it feels like an old Droid 1 camera. What I'm getting at is that this device has a lot of great specs on paper, but it still *feels* like a prepaid device...if that makes any sense.
