Samsung Transform Ultra for Boost Mobile available now
In this market for high-end devices, there’s still no surprise that manufacturers are filling up the mid-range market with handsets that have some respectable statistics. Especially for someone who doesn’t want to wait to get the next latest and greatest, but just needs a device with some beefy specifications under the hood to get the job done from day-to-day. That’s where the Samsung Transform Ultra for Boost Mobile comes in.
The device is available now for anyone out there who shows off the Boost Mobile colors. The device features a 3.5-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen display; 3MP rear-facing camera with a VGA front-facing shooter; the standard connectivity with Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS; and it will run Android 2.3 in what appears to be a stock experience right out of the box. There’s a 2GB microSD card that comes in the box, but you can expand it to 32GB if you so choose.
The device is available for $229.99.

I picked this up this afternoon, and, so far, am quite pleased. I'm coming from the top of the line Windows Mobile 6.5 Sprint Phone (Touch Pro 2,) and this is actually similar in many respects. This, of course, has some much better specs, but they're both landscape sliders at about the same size. Much of why I'm liking the device could be chalked up to it being Android, but that's only part of it (I'm not a complete Android virgin, afterall.) If this phone were released 12 months ago, it would've been one of the top-tier phones available on the market. I'm not needing to be cutting edge, anymore. I just want a phone that works and can hold its own through a workday without breaking the bank. I did the math comparing what I'd pay for a comparable phone on Sprint, Verizon and ATT. Even with the seemingly high $230 device cost, you save several hundred dollars over the course of one year. Over the course of a 2 year contract, you're well over a thousand with Sprint and over two grand with ATT. The world can have their top teir smartphones. 1st 6 months @ $55/mo = $330 2nd 6 months @ $50/mo = $300 3rd 6 months @ $45/mo = $270 4th 6 months @$40/mo = $2401st year = $11402nd year @ $40/mo = $480 2 years @ Boost = $1620 + cost of phone $230 = $1850 I dare you to do the math with unlimited everything at the other carriers.
