Bottom line	With midrange features, the Samsung Transform is a solid choice for an Android smartphone. Clear call quality is a bonus, but the Sprint ID profile service isn't for everyone.	The LG Optimus S is an affordable yet full-featured Android smartphone for Sprint, but we did wish the call quality were better.	While it could use a boost in the performance department, the HTC Hero is the most feature-packed Google Android device to date, bringing some notable improvements and a highly customizable interface.
