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

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