The Bottom Line The Samsung Transform Ultra is a worthy QWERTY handset to join Boost Mobile's Android lineup. Mobile ID offers something different, but not everyone will want it. The Kyocera Milano is certainly an affordable entry-level Android phone, but Sprint customers have better options available to them. Android 4.0 and an affordable price help make Boost Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Rush a decent no-contract option, but lower-end specs are disappointing nevertheless. Boost's LG Venice has respectable midrange specs including a snappy processor and a vivid screen, but if you want 4G data speeds, look elsewhere. With Android 4.0, solid call quality, and waterproof capabilities, the Kyocera Hydro is a great prepaid device.
