Its definitely not a bad phone. Also people with the transform don't have to worry about the $10 cool tax if they don't even have access to 4g. If htc came out with a 3g phone with like specs I would sell my evo and change phones in a heartbeat. I have used 4g once and signal was horrible with same speeds as 3g. When they improve 4g then it will be worth it. Luckily with my family plan I only pay 32 and change per line which makes it okay to have the evo.

hell it aint, looks just like it with less speed/4g, its my opinion. even articles call it little epic. has a ffcam why you say no work? here they call it a mini epic but it is crippled

Samsung Transform, first hands-on! -- Engadget

Samsung Transform review -- Engadget

Perhaps most confusingly, the front-facing camera totally failed to respond to any of the video chat applications we tried -- Qik, Fring and Tango all failed, and one of the three actually stated that required hardware wasn't present on the phone. Tango's a bit of a newcomer, sure, but Qik and Fring are de facto video chat applications of choice on Android, and we were shocked to see neither working on a front-facing camera device.

We also noticed that 3D apps chugged tremendously, and certain games wouldn't run at all. We ran a few tests but soon got confirmation from Sprint itself: the Transform's S3C6410 processor doesn't support hardware acceleration for OpenGL.

yes you heard that..no hardware acceleration...think back to windows mobile...

Its pretty much a Samsung Moment with a changed screen >.>

I know..I'm just saying to call this a crippled Epic would be an insult to the Epic
