"This is my first smartphone so I was nervous at first. This phone has been simple to use from the beginning. It's great for someone's first smartphone or for the more experienced user.
The only problem that I have had is that a couple of times a week my phone tends to freeze up. The only fix seems to be taking the battery out for a few seconds to restart the phone. Compared with the problems that I have had with other phones though, this is nothing."
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
Cons: freezes once in a while

"Honest reviews aren't always that honest... but honestly...this phone has the conveniences of everything you could ask for in a touchscreen smart phone but EVEN WITH the optional slide qwerty keyboard.
For someone like me with big and sometimes clumsy fingers...it is a life saver!
It performs well and does great for multi-tasking. i.e.(wifi + location + e-mail + g.p.s. + etc.)
The only thing I have problems with is its compatibility with certain applications like Youtube. It doesn't always render the full video but i believe it has something to do with the application itself more than the processing of the Transform Ultra."
This is a very handy product it has some great features.

This Phone surprised me with its features

PostedApril 25, 2012
"I really enjoy using the phone, the sliding keyboard is really helpful to write a quick text, or email. Overall the phone was perfect for what I needed."
"In my day I've used a lot of different phones but none of them have pleased me as much as the Transform Ultra has. Its performance is rock solid which is surprising seeing as its an "entry level" smartphone. Sure, its not a dual core but it runs extremely smoothly. Lag is almost non-existant with this phone even when multitasking.(my version of multitasking is having pandora, myyearbook, facebook, texting, and MANY widgets running all at once. The only hickup I have found has to do with the camera button. I have found a bit difficult to get the auto-focus to work properly for me.. which isnt a real problem.. after a while you learn how to work with it. I also found that sound quality through the speaker isnt the best.. its great for VOICE but not for MUSIC.. just plug some headphones in and you'll be set. The keyboard is flat for the most part but after a little while youll get used to typing with it as I have. Overall a great phone. It may not have all the features of a "high end" smartphone but it certainly packs a punch."
Cons: camera button is touchy, speaker sound is not good for music

"I have has this phone for 5 days and it has been pretty much trouble free. The only problem I have experienced is when I try to respond to my husband's texts the area code is dropped and I get an error code. I have to delete the thread and send messages to him as new. After the message is sent the thread will drop the area code. I have tried everything except factory reset to try to solve this problem."
"This is not my first Samsung cellphone. Almost every one I've had, including the very first one, were this brand for a reason. I love what Samsung has to offer in their products. They are very high-tech, yet very easy to use. It didn't take me very long to decide on what brand of smartphone I wanted to get. I honestly have had nothing bad or negative ever happen with my Samsung products. In the future I am sure that I will remain very loyal to them for making the great products that help me accomplish what I want to in my life."
"Loving my new phone. Didn't realize how many apps I could download. No need to always go to my laptop now to find out information. I also love that the phone lets you know when there are updates for the phone and for your apps. Easy to use."
"The Samsung Transform Ultra is by far my favorite Android Smartphone. The number one feature in a phone that I look for is the battery life, and unlike most smartphones I don't have to continuously charge this phone throughout the day. The ease of access between screens is seamless. I was a little skeptical that this device would be a little bulky and heavy due to it being a touch screen and full quarterly key board (slide out), but the manufactures have come a long way with giving these phones a more sleek, lightweight feel. I am very impressed with this device."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable

"OVERALL IT IS A REALLY GOOD PHONE! i JUST WISH THE FRONT CAMERA HAD BETTER QUALITY, IF IT DID, I WOULD DEFINETLY GIVE IT 5 STARS!"
"I have this phone for some time now. Its good, the only con is that it take a little time loading, it heat some went hearing music or playing games. But in overall is good phone for the money (exchange for another one)....."
"My favorite phone thus far ! It has everything I want / need, except for the fact that it is only 3G compatible. Maybe Samsung can make a Transform Ultra 2nd Edition which will be 4G compatible. Then this phone would be awesome, since it sports a full qwerty keyboard besides a touch screen, too ! I bet a lot of people would purchase this 2nd edition type of phone in the future..."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, full slide-out qwerty keyboard, works well with all my favorite apps, wi-fi capable
Cons: not 4g compatible

"Takes almost 3 hours to recharge.
Then uses all battery power in just a few short hours.
It took 2 1/2 hours for the initial battery charge then went dead just trying to do the initial setup of the phone."
"This phone is responsive, intuitive, and all together excellent. the touchscreen is responsive, the keypad's buttons have good resistance, and overall it feels sturdy. However, it is not 4g capable, so if that's what you are looking for, look elsewhere."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, physical keyboard, good ui, good carrier

Keeps freezing up!
PostedApril 15, 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
PostedApril 15, 2012
"I just want to say that this is a GREAT phone if it didn't freeze up every 15 mins. It's very aggravating when you have to remove the battery and restart the phone. Also that there is no slot for additional SD card to upgrade the memory.
"Great phone from Samsung. It has a smooth and responsive touch screen, front facing camera, full qwerty keyboard, lightning fast internet, and a lot of other great specs. I would give this phone a perfect 5 out of 5 if I could download some apps that I really want like Contract Killer: Zombies and Modern Combat 3 (I'm a gamer) but other than that, this phone is amazing!"
"Well, when I go to use my phone, it shuts off automatically. So I tell my parents and they say to force stop all the apps that look for the most signal, since this phone doesn't have a task manager. So I do, and it still shuts off. So I look online and it has reviews saying the same thing I'm saying right now. Some say that it could either be a bad battery, or I need a factory reset, which erases all my data. I don't like that though, because I have all my music and pictures on there, and they will go away. I just don't know what to do. My upgrade isn't until December, so I have a long way to go. Oh, and there is no 4G...All in all, this phone's cool, except for the shutting off and for only 3G and no 4G option."
Pros: Built-in speakers
Cons: shuts off on its own
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

"not as high tech as i wanted....miss my galaxy s phone it was much better will prob get new phone pretty soon had this one for 3 days now not tooo happy with it but hey its a working phone i guess"
"Worst phone I have ever owned. Every day I have to delete something off of it because I keep getting Low Internal Memory error messages. I keep my apps to a minimum but still am almost back to stock features because every time something updates, I have to delete something else. It's ridiculous. Plus, when you try to type, either the onscreen keyboard covers up the text box or the pull out keyboard doesn't allow the text box to line up with the screen. Either way, you end up typing blindly half the time. I could live with that, tho, if I could go two days without an internal memory error. Definitely needs a memory upgrade!"
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, internal memory extremely low

Texting Problems
PostedApril 15, 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
PostedApril 15, 2012
"I purchased this phone yesterday. I was not advised of the issue surrounding texting someone without the area code. Once you do it to someone you cannot FIX the issue in the phone. Even if you delete the thread and the contact and attempt to put back in each and every time you attempt to text those people the number reverts back to seven digits. This seems ridiculous considering the phone I turned it was 3 years old and smart enough to ask if the area code should be added. How is this fixed?"
Cons: ridiculous texting issue
