I purchased one on eBay and have been using this for a couple of days.
It looks reasonably well made and feels good to hold. $120 on eBay, 20$ shipping from Hong Kong.
screen quality is very good.
It is NOT a touchscreen (in case anyone was not sure), but navigating is pretty easy using the provided buttons at the top of the screen
I have not had easy success getting it to play my video files. It mostly kinda works, but re-encoding is required, lots of file are not recognized that I have no trouble playing in Coreplayer on my iPAQ, and it is a bit choppy. Having said that, it works better than on my Nokia N800, Greg.
It only reads .txt files, so its usefulness as a book reader is very limited. That was my biggest disappointment.
And to answer a question above, it's only mini-SD. Definitely the slot does not fit SD or SDHC.
The Triumph proved to be one of the better looking and performing pre-paid handsets we'd had the pleasure of holding in our sweaty mitts, but we had one major hangup: the name.
