Samsung Transform, first hands-on! -- Engadget


Samsung Transform review -- Engadget

Quote:
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.
see...

Quote:
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 >.>

Was looking to have a forum to be added for it, but an admin moved it from the "add a phone" forum to here...

I ended up buying one a few days ago and am impressed... Generally it seems to be a better phone than the Touch Pro I was using before... The only app I can't find a good replacement for is a networkless (for use when I am not near cell towers) GPS program... I miss Garmin...

I did not want a bigger phone or to pay an additional $10 a month since I don't get 4G at home... Now to wait for Froyo...

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.

Re: Samsung Transform
1) This phone looks terrible, I wouldn't buy it with gTen's money.

2) Moved to Phone Comparison forum.

3) Chipotle sounds sooo good right now.

Re: Samsung Transform
I considered it for my wife... Definitelly not a phone for nerds... It would be a good intro to Android but that's about it.
Luckily Sprint has something for alot of different people.
My wife could NEVER see herself carrying a friggin Tablet like the EPIC. I woulnd't go Android... But she would... So this might be an option for her.

And lastly... Chipotle is good morning noon or night.
