Okay, so I'm on Virgin Mobile. Right now I have the Optimus V, and it's a pretty good phone, but it can be a wee bit sluggish at times (Angry Birds lags on higher levels, and my SNES emulator has sound hiccups when too many effects go at once. It also lags a bit with messaging sometimes). Anyway, I live in hickville, Indiana, so the 3G service here is complete crap. But I get it if I go up North to the nearest town, and it actually works pretty well, but I've noticed that it isn't anywhere near as fast as my other friends' 3G. I'm guessing that's because the Sprint Network sucks, but could the phone have something to do with it?
So Virgin is advertising the Motorola Triumph now, and it's got a 1GHZ processor with 512MB of RAM. My Optimus V is 600 MHZ, and I can't figure out what the RAM is (it's not 160MB, that's the actual internal storage). Anyway, would buying the Triumph by any chance improve my Data speed in areas with Good coverage? I understand the processor has nothing to do with that, I just thought maybe getting a "better phone" could get me "better reception" if its antenna is better or something. As far as the processor goes, will the extra 400MHZ make a difference? Should I make the jump?
Oh, and they're both single core. Still, 1GHZ seems significantly better than 600MHZ to me. I think.
