Dear All,
Just let you all know I was one of those customers who had high hope for new Motorola Triumph from VM (brought the phone first when it came out at Bestbuy local store on 7/20), However, that went downhill after I started to experience the following issues below. Please note some of these issues are already noted in android forums & VM website by other people who also experienced same issues, which I only repeating because I was having the same issues as well. I’m totally convinced the quality of this product is very bad, that why I have already returned my Triumph phone back to the store this morning, and return using my Samsung Intercept. So Beware!
ISSUES
1) was able to duplicate Screen flicker issue if repeat push power button (as shown in link below)

2) Weak signals cause phone to reboot
3) With Spot focus & AF mode on, will cause HW clicking sound near camera lens
4) Don't take picture directly any Florescent lighting like what I accidently did lay on my couch yesterday, because it will damage the camera sensor, causing yellow blob in the middle of the screen every time you take picture indoors.
Adding to the list of issues that others experienced
5) Bluetooth headset will have static or other end receiving call will not able to hear you.
6) LCD Touch Screen light leaks at bottom corners.
7)DEAD ON ARRIVAL OR DEAD IN FEW DAYS.
8)SCREEN freeze
9)GPS takes at least 2mins to get it's position(too long)
10)Battery will not hold it's charge
11)Power button sticks
12)WIFI Tethering will not work ( there is work arounds out there but not stable.)
Conclusion:
Not worth the money ($300) you might want to wait till Motorola & Huawei fixes these issues or wait till VM introduce another phone that is not exclusive to VM(like intercept & Optimus). Which should have better reliability?
