| Bottom line | Folks looking for a phone with a QWERTY keyboard will find in the Samsung Transform Ultra a reliable midtier device, though $20 more could nab you an even better phone. | The Samsung Transform Ultra is a worthy QWERTY handset to join Boost Mobile's
Android lineup. Mobile ID offers something different, but not everyone will want it. | The Kyocera Milano is certainly an affordable entry-level
Android phone, but Sprint customers have better options available to them. | The LG Optimus S is an affordable yet full-featured
Android smartphone for Sprint, but we did wish the call quality were better. | The competitively priced Kyocera Rise is fitting for texting enthusiasts looking for a starter smartphone with
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. |
