Sprint has loaned me a Sanyo Zio until the exchanged phone comes back.

I really liked it, then 15 min later I had to pop out the battery and re start it, this happens about 7-10 times a day.so I ordered a new one.SAME THING STILL HAPPING. If I'm texting and some one calls it freezes, if I'm talking to some on the phone and receive a txt or email from some one it freezes. Can't stand it I'm now getting the LG optimus. There are a few good things I liked about it, the slide out keyboard was cool except the pre spell dictionary didn't work while using the keyboard, the rotating screen would move if u barely moved the phone, that got old fast because I would be flipping and moving it all over the place just so I could see the screen.I liked the camera it took pretty good pics. But really don't buy this phone.its pretty much sucks.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2863 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=39200#review39200 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=39200#review39200 Wed, 04 May 2011 13:54:11 GMT <p><i>ANNAMARIE submitted this review of the Samsung Transform:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>IF THERE WAS AWAY TO PUT A -5 REVIEW ON THIS PHONE, OH TRUST ME I WOULD.<br />I WAS GIVEN THIS AS A REPLACEMENT AFTER THE MOMENT.

I see others complaining over this device. Mine came with 2.2 - has never froze and I run numerous Apps on device. People who have been making complaints over this device, needs to complain to their parents for their bad genes -not the transform. I've had 5 Android devices - for the $$ -- you can not lose. It's a baby Droid, not a power-horse, but can still do the job.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2863 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=39110#review39110 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=39110#review39110 Fri, 15 Apr 2011 00:47:00 GMT <p><i>fk135 submitted this review of the Samsung Transform:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>After waiting 30 minutes on hold to be told our 3 month old slider mechanism was not under warranty because we must have broken it, I thought it would be a good thing to warn other to steer clear of this phone.<br /><br />Besides the defective slider design, the software is still stuck at Android 2.1 and it is very buggy reboots required at least weekly.<br /><br />We've bought 6-7 Samsungs before and they were all great phones. Let's just say that we're not buying anything Samsung again after we were hung out to dry by customer support.<br /><br />DO NOT BUY.

Big mistake. This phone is slower than molasses in January. Battery life is bad and phone locks up constantly. Took it back to the Sprint store and all they did was do a hard reset on it. All that did was clear out everthing I had installed on it and did not help the phone in any way. Should ha ve gone with the EVO like I started to. Would not recommend this phone to my enemies!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2863 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=39075#review39075 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=39075#review39075 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 19:18:29 GMT <p><i>jamilea144 submitted this review of the Samsung Transform:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I got this phone because I was due for an upgrade and I didn't want to shell out the money for an Evo. This was a HUGE mistake. The phone worked well for about 3 weeks. It then began to run as slow as molasses in January. I would swipe to another home screen, open an app, or type a text message with a lag of about 5 seconds minimum. I want to open up the phone and find the hamster in a wheel that they call a "processor". The processor that Samsung placed in this phone is an absolute joke.<br /><br />Pros: -Android OS is great<br /> -Camera with a flash<br /> -Slide out keyboard is nice<br /><br />Cons: -Sloooooooooow processor<br /> -Crazy lag when typing messages<br /> -Software hiccups weekly<br /> -New update just caused this phone to crash 3-4 times an hour<br /> -Dropped from arm of couch to hardwood floor one time and sliding mechanism became very loose.<br /><br /><br />This phone is good for a starter android phone. If you need the speed and functionality required with being in business don't waste your time with this. Put your money towards the Evo. Trust me you won't regret it.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2863 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=38639#review38639 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=38639#review38639 Fri, 07 Jan 2011 18:54:38 GMT <p><i>jbaer15 submitted this review of the Samsung Transform:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I upgraded my wife's Blackberry Curve to the Transform. I wanted her to have an Android device made by a solid company, but not pay too much for it. The device seems to be made with good materials and holds up well. Within days though apps stopped working (still worked on my EVO) and speed dial no longer worked and it was slower. She only downloaded Angry Birds and the rest was the same besides Task Killer. We reset the phone and still slow. Downloaded the Quadrant app and it scored between 300 and 400 on their scale. My EVO scores 1250 plus. I am sure when it goes to 2.2 that it might work faster, but how much faster?! I did a 30 day swap out today for the EVO shift which scored a 1453 on the quadrant app!!<br /><br />PROs<br />Android<br />Colorful screen<br />Battery Life if you know how to tweak your settings.<br />Ease of use<br /><br />CONs<br />within days did not work right</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2863 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=38488#review38488 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=38488#review38488 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 21:48:19 GMT <p><i>Reese512 submitted this review of the Samsung Transform:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I replaced the Samsung Moment for the Samsung Transform. I am mostly satisfied with this phone...<br /><br />Pros:<br />Battery life-not too bad for a smart phone, I can go two days without charging<br />The phone just works! The Moment did not!<br />Sound quality for calling and ringer is excellent.<br /><br />Cons:<br />Wish it were Android 2.2<br />Camera could be better<br />Needs software or at least an app for video editing so that I can share my captured videos<br />There is some lagging.<br />Signal strength is poor in rural areas such as Lyndon, KS.<br /><br />Overall, I have bragged about this phone. I just love the fact that it just works! It does what it is supposed to. There may be a bit of lag, however. I do not expect a perfect phone, as there is not one on the market as of yet, so I highly recommend this!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2863 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=38478#review38478 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=38478#review38478 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 05:19:08 GMT <p><i>ghost0001 submitted this review of the Samsung Transform:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>First off, let me explain where I came from. I had a Samsung Moment(M900) before this phone. Constant lock ups, poor battery life, and a screen that was too dark in the daylight kept me aggravated. After complaining to Sprint about the phone all they could do is offer me to sell it back to them at half the price i bought it. So, i ended up buying this phone. So far, I have had no data lock ups. Calls have been solid, and it is quicker than the moment. It started with 2.1 and from what i hear i will see 2.2 on this device. I have experienced where the phone will not lock once you press the lock button, but i can't exactly put my finger on what makes this happen.<br /><br />Pros:<br />No more pesky data lock ups<br />Clear call quality<br />Feels lighter than the moment<br />Screen does not feel like it could break off the keyboard<br />I can see the screen in the sunlight with my sunglasses on<br /><br />Cons:<br />As with any smartphone, battery life is still horrible.(I would love to see a extended life battery and cover for this device)<br />Sprint ID is pointless for a user as myself(great for new users)<br />Removal of "bloatware" apps requires root</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2863 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=38286#review38286 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=38286#review38286 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 03:28:07 GMT <p><i>hss7 submitted this review of the Samsung Transform:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Nice phone, the best part is the slide out keyboard. This is one of the few android phones to offer it. Other pros:<br /><br />- Android marketplace makes any phone great<br />- brilliant display <br />- tactile/dedicated buttons for back and home<br />- good battery life*<br />- slide-out keyboard <br />- good sound/call quality<br />- micro SD <br /><br />*battery life is manageable if you have apps like task killer and startup cleaner installed. make sure you turn off wi-fi, sync and other functions when you're not using the phone. I've had the phone last as much as 2.5 days with minimal use (calls, texts, infrequent emails) and get through a whole day even with heavy usage (a lot of emailing, Pandora while at work and all the other stuff).<br /><br />Cons<br />- not a huge issue (see above*) but battery life could always be better<br />- camera is only 3.2 MP<br />- i haven't been able to get the front facing video camera to work with video chat apps<br />- no 4G (but 3G is about 1Mbps in my area and that's plenty fast)<br />- only 800Mhz processor (but this is a pro in disguise because it consumes less battery, in theory)</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2863 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=38181#review38181 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2863&r=38181#review38181 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 04:33:46 GMT <p><i>richardcrappel submitted this review of the Samsung Transform:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>MISLEADING Statements again !!
