VM doesn't list MT on their website.

[Motofrust]

So I emailed them for an replacement for another phone. They sent me the same defective phone....but they don't sell them anymore on the website. How shameful on them? Ha. Well....I guess its time to upgrade to Galaxy S2...I wish it was S3 though but I am okay with S2.

What are your suggestions boys and girlsss......prefer girls

I asked them to get that phone and they shipped me the freeaken same phone triumph maybe they still have some for us lol

Honestly, you could probably keep sending them back in and get away with it, because VM and Motorola know that there are tons of defective Triumphs out there. Maybe if you keep sending them back, they'll break down and send you an Evo V or a GS2. (I doubt it though! )

 

[Motofrust]

This time my phone has a crack on the screen. We'll see what happen LOL I opened a new phone and there was an crack

They are out of stock of triumphs. Any triumph you get in return is probably one that someone sent in looking for a replacement just like you.

 

[Motofrust]

Ugh.....I will buy SGII and suck it up with the money lol

The sII is actually a really good phone for the price of it. Even though on carriers they give you a discounted price for phones with a 2-year contract, and we have to pay the retail price of the phone, the prices are somewhat reasonable. For some of the phones...

I went from the triumph to the s2, it really is a nice phone. Everyone is itching for the jellybean update but ics works flawless on this phone.

It's amazing what a difference having a phone that works like it's supposed to out of the box makes- I was a ROMing fool on the MT but haven't even felt the need to root my GS3 yet. Okay, so maybe I've "felt" it, it would be nice to get rid of some of the bloat- we'll see.

So the SG2 works same as SG3? I am a little confused lol

After VM's phones I cannot live without CyanogenMod anymore. I need root, or I won't purchase the phone. I'm so afraid that any phone could essentially become the next Triumph. Sad.

^This. I feel the exact same way. When they first got the triumph, everybody was happy that vm had a "high-end" phone. Now that we all know the dirty secrets of the phone, we cant live without CM, PA, or any of the other roms. If Motorola or VM dont want to fix the problems that this phone has, then we will fix them ourselves. Just my opinion on it.

 

[Motofrust]

SG is slightly modified too with light rom. Look up on their forum on this site. Our is heavy modified with less bugs

Well, you could do what I did. Buy a Nexus 4 for that same $299 and switch to T-Mo's $30 plan. Way better phone, JB 4.2.2, and (for me) much better network and speeds. (No WiMAX or LTE in Phoenix from Sprint/VM.) My son's Triumph is still chugging along, but we'll have to decide what to do with that one soon, too.

Don't know, never had one! I was just commenting on the fact that phones that have decent hardware/software from the get-go tend to provide less of an incentive for users to look around for alternative ROMs.

My experience with my stock MT was pretty abysmal- a hum-drum UI with lots of lag, quickly disappearing internal storage (log files), etc- & then I discovered CM7 and the clouds opened and angels sang.

My experience with the GS3 has been the complete opposite- a fast phone with ICS that quickly got bumped to JB- I did install a different launcher because I'm not a huge fan of the look of TouchWiz, but there hasn't been any pressing need to find a different ROM like there was on the MT.

Just making a point (or trying to...)

I tend to agree, but I'd do your homework first & check T-Mo's coverage in your area very carefully. I do get a good 4G (HSDPA) most places around town, but along a major interstate between here & DC (I-95) I can only get 2G/1X a lot of the time when & had a solid 3G signal in the same locations with VM.

Look at the coverage map & zoom way in!

Just saw it today.

As much as I liked tinkering with CM and the add-free environment on the MT, I enjoy my stock Nexus 4 even more. It just works really really well and because I use Google Wallet, I'm not tempted to root it either. It's a huge upgrade over the MT. The other huge difference is data speed. I used to get about 300-500 kbps on the MT inside my house, I'm now getting 2.5-3 Mbps inside the house on Straight Talk's AT&T card. Difference is even bigger outside, in the malls, everywhere really. It's also cheaper, as I used to pay $55 on VM and I'm down to $42/mo now (buying 3 month discounted cards).

AAAAAAAAnd it's gone again.

I asked a lady from virgin mobile if i could get a different phone for a replacement and I told her I heard that the only way you could get a different phone as a replacement is if the phone is discontinued and she replied with "yes but you can only get a different phone if it is discontinued and we don't have anymore and aren't selling it anymore". So maybe you just have to talk to certain people or maybe they know you can get a different phone but they don't say anything as long as you don't ask??? Idk I have the evo v it's a pretty nice phone and I'm trying to bring ubuntu to it. I plan on waiting for VM next flagship smartphone which I believe will be the S3. but I just thought I'd drop that knowledge off for you guys. Best of luck to every body with the triumph. (I still have mines)

I wonder how many MTs they have left?
