Sprint's mid-range offering in the Samsung Transform is now available

There's no denying that Samsung has a deep affinity for Sprint, which is quite evident since the number three carrier has offered three QWERTY based Android smartphones previously – with the recent addition of the Samsung Transform being the fourth.

By no means is it taking away from the Samsung Epic 4G's current reign as being the biggest and baddest Android handset for the carrier, but it'll probably be more suitable for those who don't necessarily want to gravitate towards a high-end offering. Plus, the Android 2.1 enabled Samsung Transform won't be packing 4G connectivity which should come to be less burdensome in the pockets for those who don't have coverage around their area.

Customers can now scope the Transform online for the price of $149.99 with a 2-year contract after a $100 mail-in-rebate. It features a 3.5” HVGA touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel camera, VGA front facing camera, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Android 2.1 with Sprint ID, and a convenient landscape sliding QWERTY keyboard. If you want to steer clear from having to sign a contract, you can buy it for the no-contract price of $399.99.
