The ZTE Warp Sequent is very, very capable cell phone. I am coming from the Transform Ultra. I wanted to upgrade to a larger screen, so my review comes from the perspective of a person that uses his cell phone primarily to watch Netflix, Reddit, read the news etc. Though the Galaxy SII has the largest screen out of the Boost lineup, it is a full 170 bucks more expensive than the Sequent. I am on Boost because it is a cheap service. Buying a very expensive phone would kind of negate the entire reason I am on Boost. OK, enough of that. Here are the Pros and Cons as I see them.
Pros: Very large, bright screen. Good pixel density, so movies and apps look great. Runs Ice Cream Sandwich. Not the latest incarnation (Jellybean) but still a massive leap over Gingerbread IMO. The phone isn't blazing fast, but it hasn't had a problem with most of the apps I use (again, Netflix, BBCnews, Reddit, Broken Sword, and Nova Launcher). The phone is thin, sleek, and has a very nice design.
Cons: As others have said, the battery life leaves much to be desired. HOWEVER, I downloaded JuiceDefender (the basic is free on android marketplace) and that did wonders for my battery life. The phone is 1.4 GHz snapdragon processor. It is NOT a speed demon. If you use your phone for processor heavy apps, then maybe you should consider the Galaxy SII.
Conclusion: A great, capable phone at a very good price. I'd be lying if I said it didn't have its faults, but at $200 it is still the best in terms of quality/price that boost has.

Honestly this phone is superb. Even though setting up for me but a lil bit difficult because i messed around and something went wrong. So i contacted tech support. They were super nice and resolved my problem in less than 5 minutes. The phone just need a remote setting refresh because as stated before after messing around with the settings i had barely any bars inside a building. But once tech support refreshed my phone remotely, i had incredible top notch reception. Camera is superb, nice call and speaker quality, nice sharp screen in my opinion, and fast data speed. For those who use the GPS "android navigation" you can actually hear the GPS notifications with windows down and wind blowing inside the car. That is deffinitely an A+ since i drive alot. How ever one thing for sure is the battery like all androids are not as great. In my results i can get about 9 hours of battery life before it reaches 25%. Thats alot of battery left, but in my opinion its the phone's way of saying "you better find an outlet for me." So the bottom line is that this phone is worth the money.

I've had the ZTE Warp Sequent through Boost Mobile for about five months. It's broken irreparably twice.
The phone has generally performed very well. I've installed and run a variety of apps, all with very reasonable performance. There's plenty of storage for software and data, and the Warp Sequent has been very responsive. I don't stream a lot of video or run any computation-intensive apps, so I can't speak to high-end performance, but for everyday talking, texting, and surfing, the Warp Sequent gets the job done.
Call quality and WiFi connectivity have both been very stable. The battery lasts about a day with an average amount of usage. I've never had to charge it except overnight.
On the other hand, when the Warp Sequent fails, it fails spectacularly. Mine lasted only 34 days before it began shutting down constantly -- and I do mean "constantly". Even dialing half of a number on the newly-restarted phone was enough to make it restart again. I had to send the device back to ZTE for repair.
Here, ZTE makes clear why this phone is cheaper than its competitors. Getting a replacement took about 2.5 weeks, end to end, including time for several phone and e-mail exchanges with ZTE. The customer must also pay the shipping cost to get the phone to their repair center (though ZTE pays for the return trip).
That's a long time without a phone. Boost Mobile will send a loaner phone if you call to request one, but even that takes several days to arrive, and then it's the cheapest flip phone available.
I've been entirely pleased with the Warp Sequent's performance, features, usability, and stability while it was working. But now that it's broken for a second time, I will be purchasing something from a different manufacturer to replace it.
