| 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 HTC Evo 4G is easily Sprint's best smartphone and one of today's top
Android devices. It also shows the promise of 4G, which will grow as Sprint's WiMax network expands, but until there's broader 4G coverage, it's hard to agree with the mandatory premium data add-on fee. |
