The Samsung Transform was released using Android 2.1 (Eclair), but received an update to version 2.2.2 on March 25, 2011.
It's considered a mid-range smartphone and the successor to the Samsung Intercept with a few upgrades including faster data (EVDO Rev.
A), a larger 3.5" inch touchscreen, and a VGA front-facing camera for video calling (expected to work with 2.2 update).
The phone's form factor resembles that of the Samsung Epic 4G and is being offered as a 'budget minded' alternative.
In September 2011, Sprint announced the Samsung Transform Ultra, an updated version to the original Transform that features a faster 1GHz processor and physical navigational keys, Sprint subsidiary Boost Mobile began offering the smartphone on October 7 and Sprint said it would carry it at a later date.
