The Samsung Transform review

The Samsung Transform has an attractive design with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard along with a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen and a front-facing camera. The phone is comfortable to hold and has excellent call quality.

On the downside, it has a low-resolution 3.5-inch HVGA screen at 480 x 320 pixels, an 800-MHz processor that gets bogged down easily by the software, and slightly slow load times on the web.

The Samsung Transform is one of the first Sprint ID Android phones, along with the Kyocera Zio and the LG Optimus S. This allows the user to switch between different profiles like EA Games, which lets the user demo games and use EA titles for your wallpaper, or The Big Apple, which has New-York-centric apps and wallpaper.

At $149, the Transform doesn’t price right and doesn’t fit well into Sprint’s competition. For those who want a low-end QWERTY Android phone, there is the Samsung Intercept for $99. If you can live without a keyboard
, the $199 HTC Evo 4G is a better deal. If you need a keyboard, the $249 Epic 4G is worth the investment, especially when considering the cost over two years.
