Fear not, pay-as-you-go fans — Virgin Mobile saw a hat tip of its own at today’s Sprint / Motorola event inside the variety of the Triumph, a middling 4.1-inch Android 2.2 handset that maybe doesn’t quite live as much as it’s hyperbolic name. The device has 2GB of built-in storage, 512MB of RAM, a five megapixel camera, WVGA display, 1400mAh battery, A-GPS, WiFi a Qualcomm MSM8655 CPU and HDMI output. It also comes pre-loaded with Virgin Live 2.0, a musical social networking feature that provides users access to exclusive musical content — not quite the stuff victory laps are made from, but it’s certainly a great addition to the prepaid market. Triumphant press release after the break, that’s triumphantly with out any pricing / release information.
