Samsung Transform Ultra Android smartphone for Boost Mobile

Boost Mobile has announced the latest addition to Android's smartphone portfolio - the Samsung Transform Ultra. The Transform Ultra complements the existing Samsung Galaxy Prevail, which in four months has become the best-selling no-contract smartphone in Samsung's history. Samsung Transform Ultra runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread and comes with touchscreen display along with a text-friendly full QWERTY keypad. It has a 1GHz processor, a 3MP rear-facing camera, and VGA front-facing camera for video chat, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, speakerphone with voice-activated dialing, voice mail, caller ID, call waiting and three-way calling, and supports microSD cards up to 32GB (2GB card included).

Samsung Transform Ultra is Boost's first Android-powered smartphone to come preloaded with Mobile ID, an exclusive service from Boost that allows customers to download and install “ID packs.” The packs deliver a complete mobile experience, including applications, widgets, ringtones and wallpapers, in a couple simple clicks. ID packs are designed to meet a customer’s individual lifestyle or interests, such as sports, entertainment, fitness and music.

As only one example, the MTV Music pack is a complete music experience, bringing together the best music and pop culture apps, widgets and content on your Boost smartphone. The MTV Music pack gives customers access to the biggest stars and newest artists around the clock. Plus MTV has selected the best music apps to stream, download, identify, search and discover all your favorite music.

Other ID packs that can be loaded on the Samsung Transform Ultra Android smartphone for Boost Mobile device include: E!, Socially Connected, Professional, Entertainment, Lo2Yo Latino, Lo2Yo Mujer and Lo2Yo Futbol.

Samsung Transform Ultra will be available Oct. 7 for $229.99 (excluding taxes) at Boost Mobile's exclusive retail stores, select independent wireless dealer locations across the country and at boostmobile.com with free shipping. The Transform will be rolling out in select retails nationwide later this year.
