Samsung Transform Ultra, unadulterated stock on Android Market

With a 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM pushing pixels to the 320x480 screen, the Transform Ultra isn't at the absolute top end of the smartphone spectrum, but it certainly blows through benchmarks. Running Android 2.3, the Samsung Transform Ultra is the closest you can get to pure, unadulterated stock Android in a QWERTY keyboard-sporting slider smartphone. And that's a very good thing.
