Android 2.3 Gingerbread definitely delivered on the OS front, but the screen size, screen resolution, and both cameras remain unchanged; a pity.

Reviews Word on the street

	Rated 70% Read the review (Nov, 2011) Rated 70% Read the review (Oct, 2011) The basic Android music player makes an appearance and all the connections for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and messaging that come with every Android phones are here, too.

	Rated 73% by 1 users at amazon.com Sprint tech support did not have a clue how to diagnose or fix it. Rated 80% by by codedragon (Mar, 2012) If you had the original transform, which was junk, this is not the same phone. Rated 80% by by codedragon (Mar, 2012) The only thing holding back a 5 star rating is the fact the hotspot does not work correctly. Rated 80% by by codedragon (Mar, 2012)
